GOLD PANNER'S MANUAL, by Garnet Basque, has compiled a fascinating, factual and comprehensive history of gold, complete with details of how to search for and find nuggets and placer lodes—perhaps even the fabled motherlode.
Gold Panner's Manual explains every aspect of gold panning and prospecting. As you'll likely be competing with other prospectors, knowledge will give you the edge, and Gold Panner's Manual goes through all the necessary (and fascinating) background on gold's formation to support your understanding of the likeliest places nuggets or flakes will have surfaced or settled. Basque describes the ins and outs of the equipment you need, the tell-tale signs of gold and how to stake a claim. A concise, well-written guide that has sold more than 150,000 copies, this book is well illustrated with photographs and drawings demonstrating the art of panning and gold-mining equipment.
