Go to Molson, and find the museum, it is the brick building.

I have a room key fob on display there, from the Tonasket Hotel. It burned down in 1920.

I found it metal detecting not far from there. Has my name on the display and everything.

Lots of ghost towns in the area, well worth exploring.

Kane, if you do not have 'Ghost Towns of the Northwest', a book by Norman D. Weis, you should. It outlines many of the ghost towns in that area, among others in our neck of the woods.

Send me a PM with your address. I have two copies and will be happy to send you one.

Title: Boom Towns & Relic Hunters of Washington State, Exploring Washington’s Historic Ghost Towns & Mining Camps
Author: Jerry Smith
ISBN: 978-1-59849-120-3
Classic Day Publishing, 301 pages, Paperback.

Jerry Smith spent his teen years fishing, hunting, camping, and searching the mining camps and ghost towns of Washington, with his Father. He was always fascinated with Washington’s history, its miners, prospectors, pioneers, Native Americans - and the ghost towns, artifacts and relics they left behind.

In his book, “Boom Towns & Relic Hunters of Washington State,” Smith takes the reader on a one-of-a-kind guided tour into the rugged mountains of “Okanogan” country. It is a thrilling account of Smith’s successful quest to locate and document the state’s million-dollar gold mines, ghost towns and mining camps of yesteryear, as he brings them to life once more in the mind of his readers.

The book highlights the wild gold rush days in Northeastern Washington, from the 1860s-1897, and focuses on six historic mining counties: Okanogan; Stevens: Pend Oreille; Chelan; Kittitas; and Ferry. Smith uses historic and modern photographs, historic mining documents, personal letters, old miner’s catalogs and equipment lists, interviews, and personal observations to bring these locations to life.

Boom Towns & Relic Hunters of Washington State, contains over a hundred detailed ghost town and gold mining camp locations, including GPS coordinates. Chapters include in-depth looks at the ghost towns of Northeastern Washington by County; short histories of the local Native American tribes and leaders; Boom Town stories; Historic Mines; Folklore and Treasure Legends; Tips on metal detecting and artifact collecting in ghost towns and mining camps; and the Treasure Hunters Code of Ethics.
