Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are countless prospecting books out there. They all teach the same general theories and show the same diagrams. While they are not bad books, in fact many are great, this book is written to take a different and simpler approach. A prospectors lifetime of knowledge is simplified and condensed into an easy to read and understand guide that will hopefully benefit those who never even held a gold pan as much as those who have spent a few years prospecting but might still have a few questions they are seeking answers to. It is the intent that this is the prospecting book that will read as a novel, and teach every bit as much as an informational guide. What are the types of equipment available and how do I use them? What is it that I am looking for when I am prospecting? What do I do with my gold once I find it and how do I sell it? Are my black sands worth anything? What are black sands made out of? How do I find a place I can go and prospect? Is there a way to know where I should dig in a stream? How do Mining claims work? These are some of the many questions that this book was written to address. While there is no guide that can tell you how to get rich mining for gold, this guide has been written for the purpose of helping you be more likely to find gold on your future prospecting trips. It is easy to become discouraged as a prospector, or allow yourself to believe others when they say "there is no gold left to be found, the old-timers got it all". You are just a few pages away from learning the facts; and that the gold has not all been taken and how you can get your share!

Roehler and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The geology of six geographically separated but geneti- cally related heavy-mineral placer deposits are investigated along 40 miles of coastal-marine sandstone outcrops comprising the McCourt Sandstone Tongue. The heavy- mineral placer deposits consist of dark-brown to black, fine- to medium-grained, ferruginous sandstones that occur in elongated lenses that are as much as 6.6 ft thick and 2,000 ft long. The placer deposits are mostly intercalated with light-gray or tan quartzose shoreline sandstones that offlapped southeastward across the study area and formed a strand plain during a regression of the interior Cretaceous sea. The placers were deposited along a single shoreline during one stage of the regression. The heavy-mineral placer deposits are composed of about 85 percent opaque iron minerals, mostly magnetite, hematite, and ilmenite, and about 15 percent nonopaque minerals, mostly zircon, with minor amounts of tourmaline, rutile, garnet, sphene, hornblende, apatite, and traces of other minerals. The depositional settings are river mouth, berm, forebeach, surf, and middle shoreface, where the segregation of light and heavy minerals took place by fluvial, marine, and eolian processes. A plutonic source for most of the heavy minerals was probably the Sevier orogenic belt located 150-250 miles west of the study area. The heavy-mineral deposits in the McCourt Tongue are analogous in origin to that of heavy-mineral deposits that are presently forming along the southeast Atlantic and gulf coasts of the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Placer Gold Deposits of Nevada Following the discovery of placers at Gold Canyon, placer discoveries in Nevada were broadly in three periods: the 1860's to 1880's, when many small deposits throughout the State were discovered and sporadically worked and several large placers were discovered and extensively worked; the short period between 1906 and 1910, when very rich placers were dis covered at Lynn, Battle Mountain, Manhattan, and Round Mountain; the early 1930's, when economic conditions created by the depression caused a renewed interest in placer mining, and many individuals sought, and a few discovered, new placer areas throughout the State. The location of the placers described in this report is shown on plate 1. Very little factual information can be found about the early periods of placer mining in Nevada. For many placers, the only reports available are hearsay estimates of production and speculations about the extent of the placer ground based on remnants of placer pits, shafts, and other workings. Many of the placers said to have had a high production between 1860 and 1890 were worked by Chinese miners who came to Nevada dur ing the building of the railroads and stayed on to work at mining and other activities. The Chinese were reputed to be secretive with their earnings from the placers and did not ship the gold to the mint by Wells Fargo or other shippers. They worked the gravels very thoroughly in areas where American miners did not wish to expend great labor to win the gold. The placers in the Sierra and Spring Valley districts, Pershing County, were worked by Chinese miners; they have a very high estimated production before 1900 and a comparatively low known production since that time.
