They left the jobs, and for the diggings without sigh or ceremony. Today this position is reversed. Many men are prospecting and fossicking because of unemployment resulting from the economic depression. There is a dark cloud over the community, and they are bent on finding a golden lining for their part of it. Good luck to them!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo assist them and intending prospectors, Robertson and Mullens Ltd. have published an \"A.B.C. of prospecting,\" entitled \"Getting Gold,\" which, as its sub-title shows, is designed for the instruction, in a nontechnical way, of the uninitiated fossicker. In simple form, with full illustrations and expert explanations, the art of panning, cradling, puddling, dollying, sluicing, etc, is made clear for the amateur searching for gold. The book contains a complete list of State batteries, extracts from mining by-laws, and phrases and terms used in prospecting. There is also a valuable map of Victoria, showing the auriferous areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sound, practical, informative handbook this for the gold-seeker. Australia \"can do\" with a rich gold strike today. Who knows but that through this little book such a discovery may not be made?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMelbourne Advocate\u003c\/em\u003e 7 May 1931\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fossiker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1923527029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781923527027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ETT Imprint\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.17d","brand":"Fossiker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440592597247,"sku":"9781923527027","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_231510e8-1684-448e-b2ef-ea70c9f5bd68.jpg?v=1777183476","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/getting-gold-fossiker-9781923527027","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
