hi steve and all glad you are doing a forum. i will look forward to learning every day from it. one favorite gold book is one i made at the library on a copy machine. it was at uc santa cruz about 1994. i can not quote the book because it was lost in the yarnell hill fire but here's the idea. there was a study commissioned by a railroad company in the 80s that owned many rail right of ways in the west. geologists were to go to areas along the operational and non operational rail lines and analize the gold bearing areas. they put them in a book of legal size paper about 3" thick. i spent a week at the copy machine there making page after page of the promising spots. never got to use the book to find a particular area, but you get the idea. good luck to you and thanks again. bruceks bruce brown yarnell.
