  Fists Full of Gold

  A Complete Guide To The Art Of Prospecting
   
  Yes, it's true, you too can prospect for and find your own gold, it's still out there! If you purchase only one prospecting book, this is the one you want to own.
  
  For years, the pastime of small scale prospecting and mining for gold has been like a well-kept secret among a closed fraternity of friends, and sometimes information has been hard to find and acquire. This is the book that will open things up and tell you everything you need to know to find your own gold. Full of practical information and great illustrations, it is designed to be the one prospecting book you will never outgrow. If you are a beginner, it will tell you things you need to know to get started and find gold. However, even if you have twenty years of prospecting experience, you will still find a wealth of new information and tips in these pages. From equipment operations, to the geology of how gold deposits form, to the nature of coarse gold nuggets, this book takes a unique and different approach in teaching the "trade skills" of prospecting. It focuses primarily on the knowledge you need to find locations rich with recoverable gold. This information is critical because in the final analysis, no matter how well you operate your dredge, metal detector or other prospecting equipment, unless you can find the places where gold is located, your equipment cannot help you recover it.

  Gold Test Kit

  The basic gold testing procedure is to make a small scratch test of the sample metal you are testing on the test stone. Drop a few drops of the test acid on the sample and observe it. If the quality of the gold is equal to or greater than the karat quality rated on the test acid the acid will not effect the sample. If the tested metal is not gold or is of a lower purity than the quality rated on the test acid the acid will destroy the sample. An optional method is to make two scratches on the stone, one with the sample metal being tested and another with a test needle of known purity gold. When you apply the acid you observe both scratches to see how they compare.

  Includes the 10k, 14k, and 18k testing acids along with the 2" x 1 1/2" test stone.
