Offered here is an original 1901 edition of Prospecting For Gold A Handbook of Practical Information and Hints for Prospectors Based on Personal Experience. Written by Daniel J. Rankin and published by Crosby Lockwood and Son, London England. Measures 4.0 x 6.0. Includes one hundred eighty four pages and several pages of mining equipment advertising, along with a back cover pocket holding a Tabular View of Characters for Determination of Mineral Ores associated with Gold. Fold out sheet measures 15.75 x 17.75. Well detailed and illustrated with everything an English Prospector had to know when setting out to look for Gold, specifically in Africa. Though the covers are detached and care worn, a good book binder could bring this great display piece of mining history back whole. Thanks for looking!
