Loaming for Gold   is an Australian prospecting icon.

First published in 1934, it is now in its fourth edition (2008)

Reprint with new material . with a Foreword and Biographical notes by Bob Sheppard... 

The author discovered over 100 gold mines, large and small, using the techniques described in this book.

In the huge auriferous areas of Australia much more remains to be found by prospectors, both amateur and professional.

The potential is immense and the techniques can be mastered by almost anyone.

This book is the fabled ‘map’ to your own gold mine.
