Product Details

Following on the success of Gold Panning in the Cariboo, their first collaboration, Jim Lewis and Charles Hart now identify prominent gold bearing creeks in southwestern British Columbia. Starting near Yale, the birthplace of B.C.�s great gold rush era on the Fraser River, this book provides its own nuggets of information about fifty creeks, rivers, and river bars where placer gold is known to exist. The directions, maps, and first-hand advice included in this book are largely based on the diaries and research of a lifelong prospector. Jim Lewis has walked these creek beds and studies their channel shifts, trusty gold pan in hand. Semi-retired and content with his �poke,� Jim is a strong advocate of prospecting as a recreational activity for people of all ages. To introduce families, hikers, and nature lovers to the glories of one of B.C�s most colorful regions and encourage them to reap the fun and rewards that can come from a gold pan, Jim reveals information it has taken a lifetime to garner. In conversation with co-author Charles Hart and with regular reference to his extensive library of mining records that go back well over a century, Jim lays out both facts and conjecture, as well as campfire tales of adventure and misadventure, to help readers discover these readily accessible creeks of gold.
