Find success on your rock hunts for popular gems and minerals by selecting the best locations to look for them.

Agates, copper, gold—you want to find them! But if you're searching without a plan, the odds are stacked against you. Whether you're new to rock hunting or already hold an interest, prospecting is the way to maximize your success. This beginner's guide by rockhounding expert Jim Magnuson helps you to confidently hunt for a variety of collectible and valuable gems and minerals, including agates, fossils, geodes, and gold.

In each chapter, Jim introduces sought-after targets (like Lake Superior Agates to Keokuk Geodes). Then he provides a simple, step-by-step process to finding, collecting, and identifying them in the Upper Midwest. Full-color photographs show the specimens as you're likely to see them in the field, while range maps tell you if you're in the right place. Jim points you to locations where you're allowed to hunt and collect, and he also includes need-to-know information about equipment recommendations, safety, and the legality of collecting.

Expert advice: discover what to look for, where to look, and how to prospect
Professional photos: see specimens as you're likely to find them in the field
Essential information: learn about collecting rules, safety, and affordable equipment
