I might have to pick up a copy. Looks like it's almost double the pages of the first edition

I’m sure the book is great but are there actually sites in Utah that yield decent color and what about near the Salt lake-Provo area? I assume a lot of the sites are a little far flung from the city.

Yes there are sites that yield decent color, even pickers! I found a couple at a site he talks about east of Moab.

No there’s no good gold near SLC/Provo but there is some gold. American Fork Canyon is the go-to area. I’ve been there several times.

You had me at "pickers". I'm getting the book. Only problem is the site doesnt let me buy it. The link doesnt go anywhere

Google it or try your local prospecting shop or even book store. Just be sure it’s the second edition NOT the first!!
