Whether you are learning about fluxes, preparing your first crucible fusion, studying cupellation, or exploring microwave-assisted assay methods, this practical digital guide belongs in your prospecting reference library.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy Peter Moulton - A very thorough yet concise book written by inventor and prospector Peter Moulton. At 92 pages, this book is not like most books about fire assay which typically speak over the average prospector's head. Moulton has done an excellent job giving readers technical specifications for proper noble mineral recovery from a variety of common ores without the reader becoming confused. The book includes information in technical terms and general terms so readers can comprehend the process of melting metals and processing ore through a fire assay. Very helpful information on how to mix fluxes, prepare your crucible, melt gold and silver, and how to stay safe doing it. Additionally, Moulton introduces two pieces of equipment every small scale miner should own: The Microwave Gold Kiln and Small Kwik Kiln. Both machines offer the sampling or melting of small batches of material without expending a tremendous amount of energy or time. This book explains the fundamentals of the fire assay and cupellation process in terms even beginners can understand, but provides enough information for a lifetime.

Includes 500 detailed and easy-to-understand two-color maps, charts, illustrations and photos. Since the first edition of this book was published in 1998, technology for geological fieldwork has improved immensely. The coverage of these innovations, in a new chapter called \"Monitoring Earth,\" is this book's best feature. It provides useful overviews, at a level of detail and in a vocabulary that is perfect for the audience, of concepts such as satellite laser ranging, which is used to measure the movement of continents, and the use of satellites in mapping the ozone layer. The rest of the book discusses how our planet formed; plate tectonics; methods of rock creation; how the sea, ice, and wind change the landscape; deciphering Earth's history from fossils and other rocks; exploitation of rocks and minerals, and, in another updated section, provides lists of prominent geologists and relevant institutions.

The techniques are valid in any western state, even Alaska. It begins where other ghost town guidebooks end. It is the first book to guide readers around a site in Sherlock Holmes fashion. Using the techniques of a historical sleuth, you will learn to identify forgotten pieces of the past.
