dutch john Posted September 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Thank you "im a Congress...man for ordering both 414 and also 601. I really appreciate Rob Allison for his friendship and continued support over the years. Rob sells my well known "ADVANCED Prospecting & Detecting for Hardrock Gold" which has been revised and updated seven times over the last 14 years.I have made a major revision by adding more nuggetshooting tips on using either a PI-type gold specific metal detector or a VLF-type detector. I also added a 30 page expanded Appendix on Meteorites. This edition is known as the September 2010 Edition with 83 pages on prospecting & detecting for hardrock gold and associated eluvial placers. It now has a total of over 40 charts, illustrations, photos in black and white and full laser color. It is printed on a full color laser printer in a large and busy printshop when they have spare time. They also spiralbind it using quality paper.
