[QUOTE="LONEWOLF, post: 679729, member: 6309"] What area do you live ? Yes thats correct... I use them as a 'guide' only.... Worth checking over the area with a Geological Map as well... That helps in finding locations worth checking out, along with info from old and new books specific to the area you are looking at. Researching Government web sites, Old mine reports , things like that will help to find areas worth the groundwork to investigate.. Its not easy... I had a good mate teach me about reading a Geo map... Then we went out to look in that area... 99% of the time we came home with goodies... If you are looking for Crystals and Minerals , a good book to get is called 'Pegmatite's of Western Australia' expensive so hunt around as prices vary heaps. I got my copy from the USA for $40 AUD... .. It explains how Crystals are formed and what to look for in Identifying a Pegmatite thats where Crystals are made and all in relatively plain English... If its Gold you are after, there are more knowledgeable people on here that can help in that field... Hope this helps you... LW... [/QUOTE]
