If you crave for some real adventure and can spare the time for this purpose, a search for lost gold mines and rich deposits should be highly attractive. The world” mine” in the parlance of gold prospectors does not always mean a hole in the ground for the purpose of extracting gold, but rather, in a broader sense, also any deposit of mineral or of O1′e suitable for extraction, no matter whether there has been any lost digging done or not.
That a rich discovery, once made; may be lost again, seems unbelievable to many who are not acquainted with the wide open spaces of the western deserts and mountains, where many hills look almost alike and very few of them possess definite distinguishing landmarks whereby they may be recognized again when seen for the second time. This should impress you with the importance of our advice for noting on the topographic maps every spot where a sample has been taken and record very carefully and accurately your location on the topographic maps after staking the same.

How To Prospect for Minerals and Gold
A great lesson from 1933 by DR. L. Stolfa, only the equipment has changed and he gives some great description and tests for detecting Minerals.
(Placer prospecting) Having arrived at the scene of your intended prospecting activities, what mode of initial attack will you select, what will be your opening move in playing the game? Ordinarily it will make little difference whether you are searching for a placer or a gold vein. You will look for a definite clue, and when found, you will follow it to its successful termination. The most reliable clue is “float”, a term applied to small, sometimes minute pieces of gold and other vein material found in sand and gravel of the streams, in detritus of canyons and gullies, at base of mountains, in sand of the desert, etc.

Oak Island, one of Nova Scotia’s most talked about mystery, the oak island popularity has dwindled in recent years, but since the Shag harbor investigation has received so much media attention, a new oak island theory has developed in Nova Scotia, a short time ago. For those that are new to the oak island treasure mystery, the mystery has been an ongoing controversy since the money pit was discovered in 1795. It was in 1803, a flat olive tinted oblong stone, with mysterious symbols was engineered out of the lengthily depths of the money pit.
The treasure stone was unsuccessfully ciphered, by the original founders of the money pit and later the stone was cemented into a fireplace on Oak Island for safe keeping. It wasn’t till many years later the stone was dislodged from the old fireplace, by a new generation of determined treasure hunters, and brought to a local linguistic school teacher for examination. Where it was given a satisfying reading for the eagerly awaiting treasure hunters. The linguistic school teachers symbol translations seemed, too made to order for a treasure hunt, but it was a acceptable cipher, for the group of treasure hunters, to assume funds to further there oak island excavation’ exploration.

Calling all the treasure hunters and metal detectors and general
rockhounds out there, its time to write that book you have been
talking about for ever. Let’s get it from your head to other
peoples hands. And by doing so you might actually make more money
then you spend in this hobby, it’s to late for me I will always be
buying a bigger motor home or a better dredge or detector, but there
may still be hope for you. Stephanie my lovely wife still lets me
believe it’s ok to enjoy the things you love to do and it’s not
really a disease lol.
Yes I know what your thinking where’s mine, lol, well it has taken
this long to find someone willing to do my editing, Having been
educated in a public school in southwestern PA has left my basic
English skills a bit lacking, I was able to get through college,
even though that took 20 years while I was traveling around the
world the whole time, by doing the minimum in any thing related to
an English class, could be why I ended up with an engineering
degree. Ok back to the editor, I have finally found someone that
looks at it as a challenge, to take my words and make them
presentable to the general public and not go running out of the
room crying and screaming.

In the median summer of 1795 three young men journeyed to a deserted island off the coast of Nova Scotia. Daniel McGinnis lead the expedition, exploring their newly discovered island now known as Oak Island.
Daniel and his two friends Anthony Vaughan and John Smith came across a round pattern encircled into the ground next to a large oak tree with a branch and a decayed wooden pulley over hanging this sunken earth area. It was presumed to be some kind of pirate treasure cache marking.
This was the beginning of an era that aroused fortune seekers for well over 200 years. Many years later the aged men Daniel, Anthony and John exhausted all their time and energy digging into this challenging treasure pit.
Many generations of treasure seekers carried the McGinnis burden of failing the money pit. Six lives were lost trying to find the treasure secret, along with many other treasure hunters gone to there graves defeated by the Oak Island pit.

As legend would have it, out on the deep blue sea, the pirates and sailors often found themselves in a passionate love/fear relationship with the ocean. It was the ocean that would carry them to distant shore but it was the fury of the waves that could tear their ship apart and pull them all down to the depths of the ocean. It was not uncommon for the sailors to find solace in the believed power of the aquamarine gemstone.
The Deep Blue Sea Is Found Onshore In A Gemstone
Aquamarine is a gemstone that gets it’s name from two Latin words that mean water and sea. This gemstone can vary in color from pale blue to blue green, the colors of the ocean. It is said that when the stone is held underwater, it seems to completely disappear.
