Prospecting for Gold (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781922384027)

'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 21st edition and known throughout Australia as the classic self-help manual for would-be prospectors.

This book is written to help the new hand who ventures into the bush seeking gold... The "towny" prospector, with this book as a guide, will soon master methods of prospecting and the working of his find.

In an easy conversational tone, the author of Lasseter's Last Ride, Gold-Dust and Ashes and Flynn of the Inland sets many a hopeful prospector on the road to discovering gold.
