buffaloearl Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 I have a book written by him and in this book it mentions he will be churning out a volume 2 but I have done a google search and have not found anything of his latest works. He did a lot of nugget hunting in Australia and some in the U.S. He advertised the fisher gold bug and found tons of nuggets. Did he switch companies or just fade away or what? I haven't seen anymore on this fellow since he wrote this book. Seems like a very knowledgeable person and sure did write a good book. I sure would like to find a source for his second book if he wrote one. Thanks, Buffalo Earl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted July 13, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Hello Earl, Actually to my knowledge that is the only book Pieter Heydelaar wrote. I think he had intentions of making a second volume, but it never came out. Several years ago at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show I asked him about future books. He pretty much didn't have a solid answer on it. I know he has found more than his fair share of gold though .... Take care,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Earl: You can write to Pieter Heydelaar at the following : Global Treasures P.O. Box 3264 Quartzite, Arizona 85359. When I last spoke with him in December of 2005 he said he probably would not write a follow up to volume one because so many people had switched form VLF Detectors to the Pulse induction detectors..I told him to write a book on his prospecting adventures in the USA and Australia and I would be the first in line to buy it--he will probably have a boothe at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show in late January and early February 2007--I like his work --Good Luck and post his reply to you- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutch john Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 "Successful Nugget Hunting" Volume I... by Pieter Heydelaar... Copyright 1991... It is available in most prospecting stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted July 14, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Hello Earl, I love Pieter Heydelaar's book, but if you're looking for the most informative book out there, I would strongly consider Jim Straight's new 7th Edition "Follow the Drywasher." This book is roughly 300 pages of valuable information. This is one of my favorites besides "Advanced Prospecting and Detecting for Hardrock Gold." This book is $8.95, but should carry a price tag of about $100 for a book. The most informative book on Advanced detecting in my opinion!! You might have both already. If not, I have them in stock at all times. Talk with you later,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakegold Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Hello, I am working on Volume 2 with Pieter and it should be out soon. We just sent artwork to reprint Volume 1 to the printer. Volume 2 is going to show some of the awesome nuggets Pieter has found since we did Volume 1 and also some great stories. I will keep you updated.

dutch john Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Howdy Jim Garlock.... Your artwork, layout, and design of Volume 1 is outstanding...but you know that... I'm looking foreward to Vol 2... If either you or Pete happen by the GPAA goldshow in January, at the Orange Show in San Bernardino; Jim Klein and I will be there... we have a corner booth. All we are "selling" is free information and fellowship... Stopby and say howdy, or pull up a chair and visit for awhile and join us in the fun...

Hammer Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Ok jim straight I plan on making the GPAA show in San Berdo and will stop by the booth--sure glad to see Pieter is still a around, may be he will show up a the booth with you a klein.

dutch john Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I hope it is all right to add... for those who have Pete's Vol 1, go to pg 68... He is holding sixounces of gold that he found in Quartzsite on one weekend in 1983... Then if any of you havea copy of any edition of Straight's Vol 3, go to pg. 57. Here is where Pete found more gold.We also shared knowing old-time caretakers, such as P. Jim Ross and Walt Bickel (ref pgs 149-150) in any edition of Straight's Vol 3.... Pete is well known, he has contributed freelance articles in many treasure magazines. Tested equipment... found meteorites... co-authored a book with Mr. David Johnson(that was mentioned in an earlier post). Also, he once called me long distance to "set me'straight'" as I had made a mistake in printing a formula... which thanks to his "heads-up"I caught in time... (ref: pgs 2-3-4 in Vol 3). I could add more...To cut to the quick... I highly recommend any of Pete's stuff... and I can't wait to buya copy of his uncoming Vol 2.... O'l Jim "tailgate" StraightHammer... Yes... Please come and join us... I will buy the coffee.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredm Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I hope the new book is the same quality as volume 1...I still have mine and it is in great condition despite all the drool I have dripped looking at the pictures...I am eager to see the next volume!Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch john Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Jim Garlock will certainly layout a great book... Fred, notice the dedication... Bob Soehner...Bob was then the president of Chino Valley.... Back then on a club claim large nuggetswere found just under the ground surface while drywashing... Being first using a metaldetector was great. Often back then, just after a rain, a nugget could be specked by sight. I was with Jack Leuf at Middlecamp when he (Jack) detected several nuggets andthen looked down and saw them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno Chris Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hi Jim - I'll be at the GPAA gold show in January, at the Orange Show in San Bernardino - looking forward to seeing you and everyone else there.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch john Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Reno Chris... I will stop by and give a "howdy." The CMJ/ICMJ has always beenone of my favorite prospecting/mining magazines. I have subscribed it for manyyears... Not to give my age away; I bought my first CMJ during Christmas vacationin 1948. I was then a rag-tag kid with a dream... to go to Mackay... Now everyone: More about Pieter Heydelaar's book: Jim Garland will do another outstanding job in layout, design, and artwork as he did with Volume I. I'm glad Pieter is finally writing Volume 2. Volume I was outstanding as it had many pages in (expensive) color... Plus cutting edge information on where and how-to find thatelusive yellow stuff known as gold. Jim Garland if you are still living in the area... please be sure to stop by our (Jim Klein and maybe Roy Roush too) booth at the Orange Show in San Bernardinoin January. I still have the wand for a SCR-625 that Pieter gave me... I will bring itand set it on the table. Feel free to leave any information on Pieters book... and if Pieter is around... naturally he is most welcome... This certainly includes all of you who are reading this thread! Rembering old timesand many positive things that are now mostly forgotten over the years... However,life is about changes... the new must replace the old... Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter... Then another Spring... New growth, new hope... Pieter has written many freelance articles over the years. He is most knowlegeableon many varied facets... coinhunting, meteorites, and prospecting.Yes, please stop by our booth... we got nothing to sell, but friendship and memories.Jim Straight aka "Tailgate" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch john Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Howdy All... I just thought I would freshen up this post, it had drifted back onto page two. The GPAA gold show is now just a month away... For all of you in the San Bernardino area try to come. It has been a few years since the last GPAA show in San Bernardino... Both the local San Bernardino Valley Prospectors and the Norco West End Club will have booths there. There will likely be the usual panning and mucking contests. Plus the usual other events... Ya'all feel free to add/post any information relating to this particular gold show. This is how we learn... Also as you know, "gold" comes in many forms. So, if you can come, please do and visit as many of the booths and enjoy meeting old friends and making new friendships. The GPAA gold show is on January 10th and 11th, 2009 at the National Orange Show Grounds.689 South "E" Street, Citrus Building in San Bernardino. Anyone needing specific informationcan call the GPAA office 1-800-551-9707 ext 123.(Rob, I hope it is alright to continue this post on the sub-forum....
