Greetings all! I moved here to Salida a few years back and i have been wanting to get out and try my hand at prospecting/rock hounding. Ill admit; I am one of those yahoos who watched a couple episodes of "Prospectors"and thinks he has the fever. Headed to Ruby mountain today to poke around or maybe point bar to get a few pans in. Its an awesome hobby that gets me out of the house and into the hills. Im planning to join the salida prospecting club after the holidays slow down. In the meantime does anyone have any recommendations for a rookie like me to be able to increase his knowledge this winter?? Any must-read books or documentaries? i really don't know much about geology and have been looking for a "field manual" of some sort. (of course i realize that you can't just pick up a book and expect1 to know everything.....just trying to enhance my knowledge) do you suppose that would be a good place for me to start? Thanks ahead of time for the advice and thank you all for the plethora of knowledge found on this site!
