Prices for the precious metal have reached record highs in recent years, and interest has soared amongst people who want to go out into the hills and find some gold of their very own. You can still go out and successfully find gold even today if you know how and where to look. This book is going to teach you how to do it. We'll take a look at the early gold rushes across the United States and identify these historic mining areas that are most likely to produce gold for the modern-day gold prospector. Then from there we will learn how to do a deep-dive into research, locating the exact creeks, rivers, mountains and mines where gold is found. This book will discuss the important details of land ownership, mining claims, and the constantly changing regulations that we need to be aware of before heading out into the field. This necessary step will ensure that we have fun while also staying legal when we head out on our adventures. Once we know where to go, it's time to learn about the geology of gold deposits, and what it takes to mine them effectively. We'll look at the best and most efficient types of mining equipment ranging from the most basic gold pans to modern high-tech metal detectors.

Coming into the country / by McPhee, John,1931-(CARDINAL)143811;
Coming into the Country is an unforgettable account of Alaska and Alaskans. It is a rich tapestry of vivid characters, observed landscapes, and descriptive narrative, in three principal segments that deal, respectively, with a total wilderness, with urban Alaska, and with life in the remoteness of the bush. Readers of McPhee's earlier books will not be unprepared for his surprising shifts of scene and ordering of events, brilliantly combined into an organic whole. In the course of this volume we are made acquainted with the lore and techniques of placer mining, the habits and legends of the barren-ground grizzly, the outlook of a young Athapaskan chief, and tales of the fortitude of settlers-ordinary people compelled by extraordinary dreams. Coming into the Country unites a vast region of America with one of America's notable literary craftsmen, singularly qualified to do justice to the scale and grandeur of the design.1060L

Felicity Carrol and the murderous menace / by Marcantonio, Patricia Santos,author.(CARDINAL)465523;
"Heiress and amateur detective Felicity Carrol makes a perilous journey to apprehend a notorious murderer who has terrorized England--and now continues his vicious killing spree across the pond. Felicity Carrol would rather be doing just about anything other than attending balls or seeking a husband. What she really wants to do is continue her work using the latest forensic methods and her photographic memory to help London police bring murderers to justice, so when her friend, Scotland Yard Inspector Jackson Davies, weak from injury, discovers a murder in a wild mining town in Montana that echoes the terrible crimes in England, Felicity decides to go herself. In Placer, Montana, her first obstacle is handsome lawman Thomas Pike, who uses his intuition as much as his Colt in keeping law and order in this unruly town. When the murderer strikes again, Felicity begins to suspect Davies is correct: Jack the Ripper has come to America. Felicity sets out to find the killer in a town chock full of secrets, shadows, and suspects, but as the body count rises, this intrepid sleuth faces her most dangerous adversary yet--and discovers that not all killers are as they seem"--Provided by publisher.
