Boom Towns & Relic Hunters of Northeastern Washington is the WWW's comprehensive and
detailed Web site on the history of ghost towns of northeastern Washington state. Covering
many of the ghost towns within six counties, the site offers text and historical photos of
gold rush and boom towns of yesteryear. Long ago places like First Thought Mine, the Alder
Mine on Alder Creek, and The Fourth of July Mine illustrate where millions of dollars in
gold and silver were produced by colorful miners of a forgotten era. Information on relic
hunting and metal detecting rounds out the site.
Rating: A wonderful place for learning about the old West mining era.
