rled2005 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 My son asked me what book to get that explains the geology and geological indicators to find gold sources? So, I said that I would get some suggestions from the seasoned gold hunters on Detector Prospector, instead of searching the internet where you will find that one person states that his book is the best, ... and, etc., etc. (My experience is somewhat limited, far from pro.)

Gold Seeker Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 The first book I would recommend is Chris Ralph's book "Fist Full of Gold". Steve's review of this book. A topic on this book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you live in a Northern climate near mountains and streams, Reese’s book “The Nugget Shooter’s Field Guide” would be a good one to accompany Chris Ralph’s “ Fists Full of Gold”.

delnorter Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Chris Ralph also has a great website with a lot of information. Articles, and videos that would be very interesting to a young prospector. Old prospectors too. 😉 http://nevada-outback-gems.com/prospect/chris_prospect.htm Good luck, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all relative, we’re 3 hours from good areas in the desert. Curious - Have you been out to the Steens Mtn area? I was trying to find some prospects there (for quartz crystals) but had to leave as we were chased out by lightning and heavy rains. Heard anything about mineral collecting that way?

Heard anything about mineral collecting that way? Been awhile since I’ve gone that. I went elk hunting out there when I lived in Bend, O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
