[QUOTE="Teemore, post: 642009, member: 1375"] While there a a few old towns that no longer exist the majority of old towns are still going, not necessarily strong though. Here's a few references for starters, although scarce most of these should be available through libraries. The most valuable info I've found is to look for old "rushes" that were worked BUT deserted as new "rushes" were located, many were revisited later as gold became scarcer. Historical societies are a good source of info if you have specific areas in mind ... not sure whether you are targeting gold or relics, or both.
