MIDWEST GOLD PROSPECTING Reviewed By Gene Casanova

by Chuck Lassiter

Copyright April 2006

Paperback

Introduction Quote

"The primary purpose of this book is to help prospectors learn how to find gold in the Midwest, mainly Indiana, but also in Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois. Moreover, the information in this book could easily be applied to any previously glaciated area with similar geological characteristics."

Initial Feedback June 25th 2006: New Book Just Arrived At The Lab Here In Wisconsin For Review.   The Book Is Well Made With An Inviting Look To It.  After Skimming Through It Briefly, Between Mountains Of Other Work,  I Can Say The Book Is Filled With Good Original Photos Illustrating Techniques And Ore Samples. There Are Also Many Detailed Illustrated Colored Drawings Showing "How" And "Where" Type Information.  References Are Given In The Back Of The Book To Online And Off Line Sources Of Information used In This Book..   There Is Also A Glossary Of Terms In The Back Of The Book.  A Glossary Is An Absolute Must For Any Good Reference Book --- Setting An Understood Definition To Terms Used By The Author.   While Briefly Paging Through The Book, I Did Noticed There Is A Bit Of Online Information Added, However There Appears To Be Enough Original Content And Information To Make It Worth While Reading.   I Will Read This Book In The Next Few Days And Update This Feedback In The Near Future. June 25th 2006 Gene Casanova

Update - August 1, 2006 - I have been able to squeeze in a read of this book before sleeping.  The book presents publicly available information, author's opinions and finding, plus illustrated maps, pictures and drawings, all brought together in focused and brief chapters.  The book is short and brief but right to the point.  It is easy to read and does have enough value inside, to make it worth adding to your reference library.

Chapter 1 - The book starts out with an introduction mentioning Indiana gold related history stories and claims.   The author offers historic gold claims and values then speculates a value if found at the time he wrote this.

Origin of Midwest Gold - Chapter 2 - This next chapter focuses on available public information based on the opinions and theories of published K12 professors and state geologists.   The author takes this information and combines it together, using illustrated general-detailed maps, into a brief focused explanation.   The information in this chapter is available publicly, however, this book and the author offers the reader a simple "one stop" resource, with all the information brought together into an easy to read and understand chapter.

Ice Age Gold Deposits - Chapter 3 -   In the glaciated parts of the Midwest, rich gold deposits were once formed by melting glacier flood water. The secrete is ........ yes there is a secrete to where natural-occurring "native" gold lies in the Midwest.   In my own studies and research into gold and all that has been written in modern books and old discovered documents from the original gold prospectors of the United States, And Australia, The bottom line is the first western-people prospectors found gold by pure chance!  The author offers a different way of looking at today's environment and how gold may have been effected by glaciers.  This chapter offers a fresh insight to gold producing types of geological characteristics .  The author does not make reference to himself. However, the chapter reads as if this information was based on his own experiences.  The ideas and opinions sound valid and some suggestions sound crazy.

The Book's Value?

Value With Anything, Is Set By The Buyer.   The information inside is valid, and there is personal author knowledge and opinions that only the author can provide.  Below is the contents of the back of this book, offered as a qualifier to the author's information worth (value).

"Chuck was born and raised in Indiana, where at the age of nine, he found his first gold nugget in a gravel parking lot.  Since that time his passion for gold prospecting has taken him throughout the Midwest in search of the yellow metal.  He has also spent considerable time dredging in the mountains of California and Oregon, as well as desert prospecting in the Southwest."

The book at its face value, has a feel of a good-quality made paperback book, with large easy to read type face and small enough to pack along for a good read at lunch time, at the park, etc..   The information inside is the true value setter of this book.  The unique details of the geological characteristic insights as it pertains to natural loose gold, is the main value; the main intentions of the book.  What would you pay a formal educational institution for the same valuable information?  A lot more than what this book can be had for!  If you are serious about looking for recreation and want to give yourself better odds, then buy this book, read it and re-read it... It's worth buying.
