Excellent research book

After moving here (northern Cal.) about two years ago, I realized I needed some new research material. Looking through my own library, I came across this map book of a part of the Mother lode area. It shows maps of the 1880's and the 1980's. It shows where the old mines, camps, trading posts, stage stops,etc, used to be. A lot of fresh sites to hunt. If any of you guys hunt these area, you might want to pick up one of these books. Just a thought.

Cool...I will have to look for that. Btw, where are you located? Im in Calaveras county

I am in Chico, Seems like a nice town to live in. It could use a couple of really nice detector shops with knowledgeable people running them. (boy, there's a pipe dream)

Chico Rocks!!! Especially when I was young and single, lol. Real good gold area.

Thanks Jeff, I was able to get a copy off amazon.

If you don’t dig it, then how are you going to know what you’re missing!
How can you have your pudding if you don’t eat your meat!

Is there a volume 2??? Cant find that.

GB, when you get your copy, if you would, look at pg. 2 and it will tell you what numbered copy you have, I would be very interested. Thanks. Jeff

As far as I can tell there never was a second published copy. And I looked pretty hard for it. I also think they did not do a full publication of 500 copies for the #1 book. But I may be wrong. When I first started my detecting hobby in 1967 I was living in Fair Oaks, Ca. It was a great jump-off place to anywhere old and historic. For the first five years of my hobby, I had the best of the best places to hunt. (for me)

Are the sites federal land state public city...?

It all depends on which site you are interested in. This book has 40 different map sheets to cover the area shown. If you look at my original post, the pic of the cover of this book shows the state of Cal. The darkened area is what is covered in this book. It amazes me how clear and detailed the maps are.

I haven't been back to Fair Oaks in over 40 years. Am I in for a shock?

Probably...very nice area though.
