Prospecting for Gold

Prospecting for Gold

'I felt certain there must be gold in those hills, Jack' wrote a prospector to Ion Idriess, 'but I know very little about the game.' And so Jack Idriess wrote Prospecting for Gold in 1931. This is the 23rd edition and known throughout Australia as the classic self-help manual for would-be prospectors.

"This book is written to help the new hand who ventures into the book seeking gold ... The "towny" prospector, with this book as a guide, will soon master methods of prospecting and the working of his finds.'

In an easy conversational tone, the author of Lasseter's Last Ride, Gold Dust and Ashes and Flynn of the Inland, sets many a helpful prospector on the road to discovering gold.
