Product Description
"The Next Bend in the River - Maine Mining Adventures" tells those who enjoy the outdoors how and where to find gold in Maine. There are instructions how to pan and sluice, tips on dredging and dowsing, and a list of the better streams and locations where gold can be traced. Also, we are told about the mining boom and bust in the late eighteen hundreds, along with the colorful hoaxes and their flamboyan creators.
Reader Reviews
I bought this book because I was thinking about doing some recreational gold prospecting in Maine. Upon reading the book, I found that 95% of the book was anecdotes about people who had lived in Maine and had been been in some way associated with prospecting. To its credit, there were a few pages that mentioned a couple areas where some people go regularly to pan for gold. This book it not really a how to guide for panning in Maine.
