Rockhounding books

Rockhounds and other rock, mineral, and fossil collectors will find these books interesting. Many of these books tell you where to go find rock and mineral specimens. Others are "how to" books about looking for rocks, minerals, and fossils and identifying them once you've got an interesting specimen.

Advanced Prospecting and Detecting for Hardrock Gold

This booklet is not a simple course in "Introduction to Nuggetshooting 101." Instead, it is meant to be "Advanced Nuggetshooting 421" and is intended to be semi-technical. It will lead the serious detectorist, who is determined to find gold nuggets, along a learning path by introducing little-known technical aspects and correct terminology.
