### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Wonderful information for the curious beginner!
  

*by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2014*

California lends itself to glamour, bright lights, wine, and prospecting.  It is, after all, how California really got its start.  While I might live in Los Angeles, the hills aren’t too far off and the appeal of possible gold (flakes, I am sure) is real, and a day adventure away; but how to go about it?  Richard R. Barna answers that question, and many more in “The Prepared Idiot’s Guide to Prospecting for Gold:  Asking the dumb questions on how to get started finding gold.”I love the subtitle – it really sums up how I feel about most of my prospecting questions, dumb.  This is something that has been done for hundreds of years in the very state I live in, and I haven’t a clue what to do.  Or didn’t have a clue.  Barna breaks it down, explaining everything from commons kinds to prospecting to where it is permissible to prospect (double check local laws and ordinances,) gear you may need, HOW to pan for gold and so much more.  He covers laws and situations, from the recreational panner to the prospector with loftier goals.  It’s all here, if you’ve thought of a question (or even if you haven’t) – you will most likely find the answer in The Prepared Idiot’s Guide.

Lots of general information very short on specifics. Not a how to book. More history than technique. While interesting it's not going get you started in prospecting.
