Hey, just read Chris Ralph's new book, "Fist full of gold". Really a good read better than most books out there on gold prospecting. Very indepth section on gold geology. Takes into account mordern techinques, like faulting, mapping, gis, gps, internet, research and how it all comes together. Stores dont have it yet and must get it from the author. The geology section on it really is a winner. Also lots of stuff for everyone in gold prospecting, metal detecting, dredging and making your own equipment. I've got a quite a selection of gold propsecting books and this one shines.

yep that book looks like a good one to have. but im having a hard time scrapping up the $$ for it now that tax time is rolling around and just after Christmass. but you can veiw the details at: http://nevada-outback-gems.com/goldbook.htm i will buy it ,but its going tobe awhile before i do!

i just bit the bullet and wrote a check for this book and mailed it off. i also asked for Chriss Ralphs autograph this book for me. i always ask this for any book that i buy! who knows.
