<p>&#39;I felt certain there must be gold in those hills, Jack&#39;, wrote a prospector to Ion Idriess, &#39;but I know very little about the game.&#39; And so Jack Idriess wrote <em><strong>Prospecting for Gold</strong></em> in 1931. This is the 21st&nbsp;edition and known throughout Australia as the classic self-help manual for would-be prospectors.</p><p>This book is written to help the new hand who ventures into the bush seeking gold... The 'towny' prospector, with this book as a guide, will soon master methods of prospecting and the working of his find.</p><p>In an easy conversational tone, the author of <em>Lasseter&#39;s Last Ride, Gold-Dust and Ashes</em> and <em>Flynn of the Inland</em> sets many a hopeful prospector on the road to discovering gold.</p>
