Australian goldfields once attracted adventurers from all over the world. Huge finds made some men rich, while others were left destitute. Recent finds in Victoria and elsewhere show that some deposits remain, and Gold Prospecting describes how to prospect correctly and where to find and recover the gold.
Descriptions of all major reef and alluvial fields accompanied by thirty-seven maps discuss the conditions under which gold occurs, methods of prospecting and the construction and use of gold recovery equipment.
Douglas Stone, author of Australian Precious Opal, Where to Find Australian Minerals and numerous other books on gemstones, has for years been interested in the search for gold. His field experience in geology and historical research makes this an invaluable guide and reference book for the casual and professional prospector.
