Increased leisure time and increased interest in the out-of-doors is leading more and more families to experiment with placer mining of gold, and sometimes even to going on into small-scale production. This book supplies basic information on areas of occurrence, equipment needed, prospecting, sampling, mining, and regulations concerning the possession and sale of gold. Selected references are given for further study. Placer gold has tantalized many a person who has tried his luck and skill in the hope of striking it rich. Separating gold from embedded materials is basically simple, and can be done effectively on nearly any scale, depending upon the deposit and the capital available for investment. The final product is consistently in demand at a relatively stable price. Historically, however, one must be advised that rewards for the majority of small-scale miners-those who operate "on a shoestring"-have been depressingly small. First of all the placer miner must know where the placer deposits are located and he must have the technical knowledge to extract the gold. Additionally, he must face problems of land ownership, water supply, and water pollution, all of which have grown in complexity with the population. The costs of labor and equipment are relatively high now, although this may not seem significant to an individual mining a small deposit. Secondhand equipment may become available at relatively low cost because of a slowdown in construction or as surplus at the end of a war. By taking advantage of such opportunities, one can sometimes make an otherwise unprofitable operation successful, at least as long as the equipment holds up. To the novice or "weekend prospector," the more complex of placer mining may seem hard to comprehend. At any rate, the novice is often more interested in the recreational values offered by gold placering than in its profitability. Thus, the search for and discovery of even a small grain or nugget of gold is an achievement worth of considerable effort. As a start, the beginner may gain some benefit from visiting one of the many pan-for-a-fee tourist establishments typically found in gold-mining areas.

There are countless prospecting books out there. They all teach the same general theories and show the same diagrams. While they are not bad books, in fact many are great, this book is written to take a different and simpler approach. A prospectors lifetime of knowledge is simplified and condensed into an easy to read and understand guide that will hopefully benefit those who never even held a gold pan as much as those who have spent a few years prospecting but might still have a few questions they are seeking answers to. It is the intent that this is the prospecting book that will read as a novel, and teach every bit as much as an informational guide. What are the types of equipment available and how do I use them? What is it that I am looking for when I am prospecting? What do I do with my gold once I find it and how do I sell it? Are my black sands worth anything? What are black sands made out of? How do I find a place I can go and prospect? Is there a way to know where I should dig in a stream? How do Mining claims work? These are some of the many questions that this book was written to address. While there is no guide that can tell you how to get rich mining for gold, this guide has been written for the purpose of helping you be more likely to find gold on your future prospecting trips. It is easy to become discouraged as a prospector, or allow yourself to believe others when they say "there is no gold left to be found, the old-timers got it all". You are just a few pages away from learning the facts; and that the gold has not all been taken and how you can get your share!

The Bureau of Mines receives many inquiries concerning favorable areas in which to prospect for gold, procedure to be followed, equipment required, and allied subjects. This circular has been prepared for use in reply to these inquiries and is a preprint fo part of a bulletin to be issued later on "Equipping, Developing, and Operating Small Gold Mines." The increased interest in gold mining manifested during the past few years (1932-1935) has stimulated prospecting. Many adventurers have taken to the field to search for new gold deposits. A large percentage of them have had no previous experience in prospecting for lode gold ; this paper has been written with the hope that it might assist these newcomers.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1895 edition. Excerpt: ...on points and slopes of the bed rock as well as in the deepest portion. Nuggets found on high reefs above the level of the stream, imply that their weight enabled them to remain in their position, during the deeper erosion of the neighboring streams, and that the original vein from which they came, is not far off. As a rule, large nuggets and coarse gold are found much nearer to the source whence they came, than fine or " flour " gold, which is often carried to unlimited distances away out on the plains. The character of quartz veins and of their enclosing rocks in the immediate vicinity, decides the character, too, of gravels derived from them, hence sometimes a peculiar pebble may be traced up to the peculiar rock whence it came, and the gold vein be found near it in place. It has been observed that " leads "following the course or lines of a gold-bearing reef, maintain a more continuous yield than those crossing a number of gold reefs at intervals. Gold occurs in pockets and "shoots" at intervals, with barren portions between, which accounts for what we have stated above. In a country where the gold quartz veins are small, though rich at wide intervals, the gravels will also be small. In very deep ground where the "wash " is very heavy a series of borings or even shafts are made to test the quality of the bank. The following points have been observed as worthy of note in prospecting for gold placers. I. Streams crossing the lamina or stratification planes of gold reefs at right angles are likely to be richest. Plate LXVI. Shallow Placer--Gold Sand in Potholes A, A and Below a Hard "Bar"B. 2. Gold is rarely found plentiful where there are indications that the current was strong, but...
