In Prospecting For Lode Gold, Gregory Stone presents the background in geology and mineralogy which will enable the reader to search out the likely areas for finding lode gold deposits and how to recognize the clues to their exact locations. He advises on the most useful tools for prospecting, how to judge the value of the ore discovered, and, if gold is found, how to proceed with the claim and protect it. Detailed illustrations and pictures combine with the text to give a practical and worthwhile background to all those who find pleasure and, hopefully, profit in searching for gold.
