Publisher's Synopsis
'Rockhounds' across the nation can enjoy panning for gold. Not only can colours and nuggets be recovered, but also precious stones of gem quality: beryl, tomaline, topaz, garnet, moonstone, and rubies. This well-illustrated handbook details much practical information of general interest to 'weekend prospectors' everywhere, and includes the author's selected list of mines and placer areas for collecting and panning in the Southeast gold belt.
