My interest in prospecting, as a hobbyist, has intrigued me for years. My first logical approach was to find a sound source of information. Through internet research of many, many product providers, I narrowed my search down to Dave McCracken. This was done by reading review after review. I pulled the trigger on Dave's book and subsequently bought one for my brother. The book is written for a novice, but I can see myself using it as a reference tool in the future. There is a little redundancy, but I believe this was done purposefully to cement points. Overall Great Book! It and Dave has inspired me to take the next step in my prospecting endeavors!
I have been prospecting for 15 years now and I can tell you if you want one book about prospecting for gold, this is it. The author,Dave McCracken, tells it like it is. This is a no-nonsense book for the small-scale gold miner or hobbyist. A wealth of information on gold mining techniques that would take years to learn on your own. There is as far as I'm concerned no other book available that is more up to date, more simple to understand, or covers the entire subject as thoroughly as this book.
If you are interested in prospecting for any type of metal even using a metal detector this is a very good reference guide highly recommended
