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 20th edition and known throughout Australia as the classic self-help manual for would-be prospectors.<br /> <br />'This book is written to help the new hand who ventures into the bush seeking gold… The &quot;towny&quot; prospector, with this book as a guide, will soon master methods of prospecting and the working of his find.'<br /> <br />In an easy conversational tone, the author of <i>Lasseter's Last Ride</i> and <i>Flynn of the Inland</i> sets many a hopeful prospector on the road to discovering gold.
