[QUOTE="Jemba, post: 621077, member: 8224"] The old yarns are good to read, but they also hold a lot of information that one could use in regards to the numbers of prospectors on the field in question. How rich the field was, the way in which the field was worked and most of all location of the field. No matter weather you are into detectors or wet water prospector the information should hold the same meaning. Just to make mention of some of the information obtainable from such articles. The visual information from photos is just as important as the yarn, so in a nut shell this is my view and take on how to obtain information. As an example in the below photo I have noted the below. 1 No Water for washing. And where did they wash? 2 The wash was deep {shaft work}. 3 Where the tacks were. 4 How they transported pay dirt to the water. 5 where the camps were and so on. As I say this is just my way of understanding the yarn I am reading, and I may be way wrong in what I am saying. But information is information no matter where you come across it. But be warned you do get hooked on the old yarns there top reading and I just love them.
