Will check it over the weekend and let you know.

I'm currently keeping a eye out for a book called "the glint of gold by kerrin cook". I hear its basically a good history book making plenty of references to locations and towns in the central west NSW area. But I'm also looking for a good book for a beginner (such as myself) to what I should look for when out on a gold field. If anyone can recommend something I'm all ears

I wouldn't be paying $80 for that. I got a new copy not long ago for $40, I think it was from Nuggets from Downunder. Or possibly another shop in that area. A good book.

The book may be out of print. I got my copy from either the orange tourist centre or the historical society not sure which, for around $40 plus about 10 for postage.

Got mine from Bathurst tourist centre years back for $40. You could check and see if they still carry it.

If in WA the mines Dept have copies that you can copy a few pages, which I did. Be fair and everyone can get a piece if people start being greedy we all know what happens.

I heard that his ex wife wanted too big a share of the profits, that was why he stopped ? So that is rumour #3 just from this forum. Don't know him and no disrespect in case he is still married to same lady ? Just what I heard 8)

Dam the only book I got about gold mining or detecting is the owners manual for my 2200 minelab lol.

There was a fellow up Proserpine way that put all Gold and Ghost on to a CD... He made quite a few of them... When the Author found out, he was threatened with Legal action if he sold one copy.... My 'local' library has all 4 copies that are in the Reference section... You can 'use' them for 'Research' and where you sit is right next to the Photo-copying Machine.... How Handy... All for 'Research purposes' of Course... Fully Legal to copy sections for Research use, as per Copyright Laws... and post #11

LW.... :rainbow:

Howdy, are those books still there, are you on the gold coast? and if so which library, my folks live up there so next time im up i'd like to do a bit of "researching" beside that photocopier, also if there is so much interest in the book surly limited preorder publishing or amazon would be the way to go
cheers
