Book Synopsis
Gold prospecting is a fun and profitable adventure! Prices for the precious metal have reached record highs in recent years, and interest has soared amongst people who want to go out into the hills and find some gold of their very own. You can still go out and successfully find gold even today if you know how and where to look.
This book is going to teach you how to do it. We'll take a look at the early gold rushes across the United States and identify these historic mining areas that are most likely to produce gold for the modern-day gold prospector. Then from there we will learn how to do a deep-dive into research, locating the exact creeks, rivers, mountains and mines where gold is found.
This book will discuss the important details of land ownership, mining claims, and the constantly changing regulations that we need to be aware of before heading out into the field. This necessary step will ensure that we have fun while also staying legal when we head out on our adventures.
Once we know where to go, it's time to learn about the geology of gold deposits, and what it takes to mine them effectively. We'll look at the best and most efficient types of mining equipment ranging from the most basic gold pans to modern high-tech metal detectors.
If you're willing to put in the effort, the end result will be gold in your poke! We'll learn the proper ways to process the gold, clean it up, and market it for sale to get the best price from your hard work.
