..........Hello fellow prospectors, my name is Chuck Lassiter and I have been on a Midwest Gold quest for over twenty years now. In that time I have gained considerable knowledge about the properties of Midwest placer gold, including where, why and how it forms deposits along a creek or river. I’ve also discovered how to locate the best gold deposits in any stream by using geological maps, indicator minerals, systematic sampling and the characteristics of a given stream. I’ve had to learn most of these things the hard way, through years of research and thousands of hours of prospecting in hundreds of streams and rivers throughout Indiana, Ohio and Illinois. Over the years I’ve used everything from a simple gold pan to a 5 inch suction dredge to extract gold from Midwest glacial gravels. I’ve even found dozens of gold, and hundreds of native copper nuggets using a metal detector. For the past five years I have been condensing all of my knowledge and experience into a book to help other Midwest gold seekers consistently find more, bigger and better gold! Whether you use a pan, sluice, highbanker, dredge or metal detector, you can benifit from the information in this book, be sure to check it out!
