The Golden Ointment Booklet
|
Tom & Neil Bennet
|
Written by two golden triangle prospectors and subtitled "ground reading techniques for modern day detecting", not a big read, it is aptly titled a booklet, brief and to the point. Not as detailed as "Gold Detecting For Novices" but it presents its info in a different way and makes a good companion to the Likely Prospects publication. ISBN 0-646-35760-3
