Hi all, I'm new to the forum and am looking forward to chatting with you. My partner and I are planning a trip to WA from Vic in April next year, for about 6 months. We are both seasoned prospectors and have had some luck here, but I have always been facinated by the "outback". Does anyone have any suggestions for us in regard to books, maps, equipment etc.? |

Hi Lisa, Welcome to the forum. I would suggest you purchase the latestest edition of Gold Prospecting by Douglas M. Stone. There are some good articles plus maps on the W.A. Goldfields as well as pics. Another couple of books that have been around for awhile is D.W. DeHavelland's 'Gold & Ghosts' volume 1 & 2. They are getting scarce to obtain & prices for secondhand copies can be very costly. Have a look on eBay. Another place for maps is the WA Dept. of Mines (DOIR) found here: http://mapserver.doir.wa.gov.au/datacentre2/digitalgeology_enh2.asp Enjoy your trip. Cheers Ted |
