Books & how to's

[southy]

another trip & another few more finds, thought some maybe interested also a few people have asked if my uncle may have had any maps.....problem is it was a surveyor and has maps all over the house and working out what is a work map and what is one he drew up for himself is the hard part,

anyway here's the books

Yep eventually, I might have flick through it first, I read one of his other books "the cattle King" years ago and it was a very good read

Prospecting for Gold is a very interesting book. Its a bit annoying in a lot of ways when you read about the free land they could explore and prospect on compared to us today .
One topic was cleaning up old stamper sites and how he decribed being able to find an ounce or so and calling it "tucker money" . An ounce today would certainly buy a bit more than tucker
