News flash-there isn't much gold on the Olympic Peninsula
359008
An interesting historical perspective on gold in the OP, but really, the geology is not great for gold and what little that was there was scooped up long ago. If you are going to bother looking for gold, go to places where the geology favors gold formation (e.g. find granite) and you will be a lot happier. Besides, the OP is dense with vegetation, so there aren't a lot of outcrops to guide your search. There is some beach gold, but unless you can get a permit for commercial extraction, its not really worth it. If you want to go that route, go to Nome Alaska, where apparently, global warming is making beach mining profitable and the gold rush is on.

This Product does not cover all Commemorative coins issued by the Australian Governments Mints. It's ok but they can do better. Don't get me wrong what coins were in the book gave a very descriptive product overview. But also the price for coins should be included at the different values from MS 60 to MS 70 as well as from PR 60 to PR 70. They have a lot of room for improvement unless it's about Quantity instead of Quality.

I expected so much more from this book. Pictures are nice and fun to go over and it does show few most famous attractions in Canada, however I don't find this to be a highly educational tourism material.  I would like to see more of what Canada has to offer.  Instead of 2 shots of the same place it would be better to see different attractions. Concept is good, and I like this short informations that describe each place and picture.

Disclosure: I received this product for free or at a deeply discounted price in exchange for my honest, unbiased view.
Receiving the product did not influence my review in any way.

I have a Gold Cube (best product you can buy for getting 1/8" classified dredge material down to super concentrates) and wanted a second product to mechanically pan out the super cons.  I would rather dredge for 8 hours than spend 5 minutes with a pan.  I have used a Miller Table but found it too time consuming and a less convenient setup.

I purchased a pound of Yuba River paydirt to test it.  I have used Yuba River pay several times before testing equipment over the winter and have a good idea about the gold content.  The product advertises it cannot process anything larger than 30 mesh, and that is a fact.  I tried larger (as a test) but it simply could not move anything larger.  As with any finishing device, the name of the game is classifying.  I classified to 50 mesh and then 100 mesh and was able to recover the gold as expected.  I panned the tailings from both mesh sizes separately and only found one very small flake.  Nothing is 100% (panning your pan concentrates will sometimes yield a small flake too).  It definitely takes time, and from my first use I could not get to the point where only gold was present with all black sand gone, but it was close enough for use to then snuff up gold flakes.

Complete.  Tell's the real story which 1025 restoration units California to Alaska continuously wish to disregard in favor of government handouts!

Real story the following:

 North Puget Fish & Fishers Back!

FIRST:  NMFS fish patrols on 6-8 large (combatant) North Pacific CG cutters guided by Brit Catapult and/or Paul Allen Vulcan satellite monitoring of transponders on fishing boats.

SECOND: WDFW enforcement of 50%+ escapement openings @ IPSFC strait & river mouths (King of Fish p241)--fee land tribals, too (over)--& illegal fish sales(Sea Cop124,130)!

THIRD:  TERMINATE SALMON FACTORIES to stop infecting of wilds, interbreeding, diluting of gene pools vital to wilds adapting to change, smolts eating wild fry & parr, & wipeouts of coastal ocean food by feedlot pinks(King of Fish p164-176)/Araki Science 318/Salmon, People & Place p29)!

FOURTH:  No gill, tangle or pelagic nets, stiffer penalties for anglers, some marine mammal killings, more Dolly & cut-throat angling on sockeye lakes & a clean-coal GPT protecting Arctic ice, copepods salmon prey eat & farmed shellfish by reducing acid rain out of Asia.  And, until wild king, silver & sockeye returns start rebounding, RESTRAINED HABITAT SPENDING!

THEN, WITH RETURNS UP: RIVER WATCHERS (King of Fish pg 235), one for each half reach, Cherry Point north, Cherry Point south & Squalicum Creek south, who, say at $9.99K/yr., pollution test, spot poachers &, via 1-2 page quarterly reports, pigeonhole key upgrades & keep things whole locally via NSEA, PIC, Whatcom Family Farmers, etc.  Monitoring county river & aquifer gages -- the latter in wells yet to be dug -- theyd key on onsite water recharges as proposed by the Washington State Ground Water Association, e.g., summer flow duration curves via V-notch weirs in upper drainage exits, mid-reach, 30 ft, 66% open riparian zones free of water-absorbing cottonwoods, water from adjacent aquifers, deeper/narrower/colder river bottoms vice open gravel pits (e.g., lower Nooksack), etc.  By also effecting side channel extensions, silt-binding weed roots via day-lightings, armor & culvert fish barrier remediations, fertilized ovum boxes in spawning beds, farmland nitrate-grabbing trenches, slough & marsh enhancements of summer-rearing habitats & winter flood slow-water refuges, 50-ft treed setbacks feeding insects & oxalis plants to wild parr in lower reaches, etc., theyd maximize escapements to spawn where born & our salmon industry at minimal cost to tax payers!

Bought the watch for my friend for her birthday.  The watch is very nice.  That being said, the gold is very, very light.  You can almost confuse it with silver and that's why I give it two stars.

I don't think these are "Gold Filled" since I've worn them for a month and they are turning black already - I'm pretty sure these are lightly and poorly plated. They are as pictured though, and they helped me a lot since I am allergic to non-gold earrings. It is very cheap, but it is also extremely thin and delicate, and possibly made out of very little gold plating, so I'm not sure it was worth it. I wish they didn't lie in their listing since there is a big difference between gold plated and gold filled. I didn't want an earring hook that would only last a month. Also, these took a month to arrive as estimated.

The gem is nice.  The chain could be a little thicker and really should be able to see that it is 14K gold.  It does not say it anywhere.

I expected more about the "how to quickly invest" in silver and gold part of this book and was a bit disappointed. However I did like the amount of detail, in depth definitions and history that the author included in the book. Lots of little obscure facts which are great to know. My two favorite books on investing in gold and silver so far have been:

The gold discovery in California began a rush by prospectors to the streams and valleys in order to find gold. This book, one in the Time-Life series, "The Old West," begins by noting (Page 6): "It lasted barely a decade. But the California gold rush was a grand, gaudy adventure for a generation of brash young men, most of them citizens of a brash young nation."

The first chapter speaks a little of the history of gold as part of the context for the analysis of the Forty-Niners. The accidental discovery of gold occurred near land owned by a German-born Swiss, John Augustus Sutter. The news, at first, was not deemed of great import (there is a reproduction of an early announcement of the discovery appears on page 17). Word got out eventually and the stream of those wanting to get rich became a flood.

The book goes on to discuss the means by which Forty-Niners arrived at the area where gold had been found. Some came by sea; some arrived overland. The third chapter examines "the rough realities of grubbing for gold." Nice photos start the chapter off. Tools of the trade are depicted on pages 92-93. Chapter four considers the shantytowns, pretty rough settlements. Towns began with a store and a few roughly made buildings. As time went on, more order in a community's structure developed (e.g., roads). Of course, some collapsed as the gold played out. Some other communities, though, survived and flourished later on. The chapter also speaks of the huge disparity in  numbers of women as compared with men and explores the ramifications of this. And on it goes, the city of San Francisco and the end of the gold rush.

Illustrations and photos add some immediacy to the text, giving a sense of the technology used to extract gold as well as the nature of settlements that sprang up.

In the final analysis, a nice solid introduction to the gold rush and its effects on California.

Book tells some history of the coins, and has detailed descriptions of all the varieties. Likely very useful to the meticulous collector interested in becoming an expert on territorial gold, but to the more casual enthusiast this book is of little value due to a complete lack of photographs.

Not the complete story, it highlights the sports that the US did well in.  It gives the impression that the US dominated the overall medal count, but outside of track & field and shooting, Greece, the host country dominated.  Still a very good story about the first US Olympic team.

David Newby's book, Treasure Islands, is timely for the current state of our world, and can be helpful irrespective of where you live. He outlines how the markets work in relation to buying and selling precious metals in today's terms... and the things to be aware of as you enter this highly volatile marketplace. How do you know if this is the real purity of metal you are being sold? What is the market value of your gold or silver? If this is your interest, check out this work...

The low prices seem to be geared for senior citizens...I'm not quite there. Some parts of states seem to be missing.

For a map titled "Washington & Oregon Coast" I was disappointed to discover they didn't include the northernmost 50 miles of the Washington coast, excluding the cool seaside towns of Anacortes and Bellingham (via Chuckanut Drive), and the San Juan Islands.  What is included is well done, although a bit scattered. The main map is of Puget Sound and the Olympic Peninsula with detail boxes taking you south through Oregon all the way to Eureka, California.

I did receive this metal detector on time but I have not used it as of yet.  I am planning to use it to go to the treasure coast (where 12 ships from Spain sunk right off the coast of east florida ( In the year 1715) around Ft Lauderdale)  with 400 million in gold and silver.  Mel Fisher found the Atocha about a decade ago, but less than half the gold and silver have been found.  There is still over 200 million for me to find.!!!  I hope that I find just one gold coin.  I plan on leaving 2-3 weeks from now as soon as I find someone to care for my cats and water my flowers!  I have heard that this metal detector  it is one of the best ones to use on the Treasure Coast if you are looking for gold and silver.  This metal detector was recommended by the many treasure hunters combing the beach and ocean for the Spanish gold!
