Product Description
This one book outlines EVERYTHING a beginner will need and want to know about getting started at gold mining today, either as a hobby or as a small-scale commercial activity. In easy to understand language, supported by clear photographs and graphic demonstrations, this book covers all of the important subjects-including what gold is and looks like, where it comes from and where to find it, how gold deposits and how to find and recover it, and also touches on the legal aspects of how to claim the gold for yourself. The book covers up-to-date mining procedures of panning gold, sluicing, dredging, high banking, drywashing, electronic probing, hardrock mining, basic refining techniques, cleaning procedures, selling gold, and much, much more. Herein lies the most comprehensive and thorough work on electronic prospecting techniques (locating gold with metal detectors) available in a publication on the market today. Virtually an encyclopedia of modern gold mining techniques, there is no other book available more up to date, more simple to understand, or which covers the entire subject as thoroughly as this manual.

 Dave Mack Does it all. July 26, 2008
This has to be one of Dave's best books. It is right up to date and this is in 2008. Everything listed in this book is still where it is supposed to be. Bookmarks are good. This has to be the best book I have seen lately even his Detector section is still up to date. Now that takes some doing with the way electronics changes on an almost daily basis. So far nothing seems to be out of date.
Thanks Dave for a great read and such a great hobby.

It would take a lot of research to find a better place to start, so why bother? This book answers all the questions you would have about getting started in the hobby of gold!
