Fists Full Of Gold By Chris Ralph

[mn90403]

Adam,

Much of Chris's book came from articles he wrote at ICMJ.  https://www.icmj.com/

If you are a subscriber you can look at all previous issues back to 1999 online.  There is one additional issue for 1931 (the first year of publication) online also.  I don't see a link to other years but maybe you could ask.

Save yourself the money on buying the book.  Chris is going to be speaking at the Comstock Gold Prospectors ( https://cgpgold.org/ ) on October 22 in Reno.  If you come over to the meeting I'll buy you a book!

I love the idea Mitchel but my bank balance said no ?

Be great to meet some of the guys on here and catch up with you again. One day it will happen - but not in the next 7 years I reckon  ?

Well, I am here once in a while.  There is no ebook version coming.  I looked into it and for the reason that ebooks automatically resize the material no matter what device you are using,  they work very poorly for books with loads of illustrations - like my book.  I looked into it and it was nothing but roadblocks and reasons it would not work. 

Its possible that a next edition may be coming out in late 2020 or early 2021. So do you want to wait a year plus? Due to my YouTube videos, the book is selling fast and I will likely be reprinting in 12 to 18 months. It won't be a major change, I will add a section on the GPZ 7000. The 5000 was the flagship detector at the last printing.

Great Book get one you won't be disappointed

Any chance your new edition will have an index and bibliography?  It would help.

[Reno Chris]

Ummm, take a closer look at the book. There is a bibliography in the current edition, its on pages 357 and 358.

As far as the index, a decent one would probably take a good 10 pages, and there is no room without significantly expanding the length of the book. Given the extra cost of such an expansion, probably not. The table of contents is quite detailed.

I don't know much but this I do know....its a must have book in your library if you do ANY prospecting what so ever. 

My opinion anyway.
