Description

THIS IS OLD DEALER STOCK, NEVER SOLD, AND IN GREAT CONDITION, FRESH OUT OF THE ORIGINAL BOX!!
This is the highly sought-after book
Principal Gold-Producing Districts of the United States.
This is USGS Professional Paper 610, published in 1968. These are quite scarce. It is 283 pages
.
The book is an exhaustive work listing virtually every place in the US where significant gold had been mined or panned at the time. It covers more than 500 districts, each known to have produced more than 10,000 ounces of gold. It is organized on a state by state basis and then by county and district. It discusses everything from placers to lode deposits. In fact, many of the districts are chiefly placer deposits, meaning they still yield those precious nuggets to this day!
This is an essential book for the recreational panner or prospector, or anybody else interested in the history of gold mining in the United States  It is out of print and unavailable from other sources (people that have copies like to hold on to them!) It is a great reference on the country’s gold resources and the history of their mining. It includes production statistics on almost all the areas discussed. The states covered in the text are:
Alabama
Alaska
Arizona
California
Colorado
Georgia
Idaho
Michigan
Montana
Nevada
New Mexico
North Carolina
Oregon
Pennsylvania
South Carolina
Tennessee
Utah
Virginia
Washington
Wyoming
This would make a great gift for the prospector, mineral collector, panner or dredger you know.
