Goldpanning Fraser, Thompson, and Columbia River Systems

Book Review by: Jennifer MacMillan     

Original Author: Jin and Sue Lewis
Are you a gold prospector or dream of striking it rich while on holiday in British Columbia? This book and a simple
gold pan are all you need. You will learn first hand which creeks you cross have the greatest potential for gold, this includes the Fraser River. This river that has cut and shaped much of interior British Columbia.
The Lewis''s have worked as prospectors for many years, and now as they enter retirement they want to pass their knowledge on to you.
Check out the maps which detail access points and old photos turn our eyes from the search for gold to some facts of local history in each area. Old towns now deserted but not forgotten, their inhabitants left after finding gold in the 15,000s of dollars, at 16$ per ounce. Your could be the first to areas like Kanaka Bar were areas have not been searched but are known to hold gold.
