with Special Consideration to Small-Scale Mining
A Practical Field Guide with Special Consideration to Small-Scale Mining. Most alluvial gold in West Africa is found by instinct: a pit sunk here, gravel washed there, hoping the ground pays off. Instinct gets it right just often enough to keep everyone digging in the wrong place the rest of the time.
