This is working for me.
OMG! What a book! I never thought finding gold and silver was so easy. I've witnessed a major gold mining operation with my own eyes. My goodness. I couldn't believe all the equipment being used. There were dump trucks the size of small planets, enormous shakers, humongous drills and massive other pieces of machinery that I have no idea of their names or purpose. I'll never forget the earth shaking explosions, from the blasting powder, with dirt and debris being hurled into the air. I've tried recreational gold panning myself. It was fun and rewarding. Rewarding in the fact that I was outdoors, not that I was finding very much gold. Truth is, all the gold I ever found wouldn't buy enough gasoline to fill my car even once. It was a lot of backbreaking tedious labor, but it was fun. The author of this book has taught me other ways of finding more silver, gold and precious stones than I ever imagined. I took this book on a very recent Carribean cruise for something to read at night. While I was reading it, I was enroute to the Virgin Islands and I begin to think. Jewlery sales outside the US is very big business. I've been to many port cities and every one is jammed with jewlery stores. Literally hundreds of them. Those of you who've had this experience can relate to what I'm saying. I bought my wife's engagement ring on one of these trips years ago. After reading parts of this book, I decided to be a looker this time and not a buyer. As I wondered around these cities, I kept looking and thinking about all the millions and millions of dollars in treasure that lay within the walls of these shops. I was thinking about the behemouth mining operation I has seen years eariler. The ship that I was on had over 4,300 passengers and there were 6 ships in one port at the same time. I was on a 7 day cruise and these ships make these trips all year long. Over and over and over again. I thought,"all of this treasure has to wind up somewhere", and it does. Safe deposit boxes, jewlery boxes, fingers, wrists, etc. The author of this book tells where another percentage of this treasure winds up, and then tells you how to look for it. I've only had 2 weekends to try her methods, and in this short time it has worked so well, that I've bought Black Hills Gold earings, a .925 silver necklace (40.9 grams), a .925 silver bracelet, several silver charms and many other items at some ridiculousily low prices. In all fairness though, I must tell that I did pay $100.00 for a 1/2 karat (solitaire) diamond marquise cut ring, set in 14k white gold. I was able to use 2 techniques detailed by the author to determine that the diamond was genuine. I could go on and on raving about my finds, but you don't want to hear of my success. Read the book and have your own stories to tell. I really can't wait for the weekends now because I'm using her methods to save for another cruise. - Fred (Amazon review on March 22, 2012).

Great read, excited me on possibilities.
Wow! I never imagined gold and silver were still crazy affordable. Based on the book's examples the title definitely fits; talk about cheap gold and silver. Who can't afford two quarters for a silver ring? It is refreshing to find an author that doesn't offer a get rich scheme. The book is filled with practical advice that certainly is useful during these trying economic times. I know I don't have $500 to spend on a gold bracelet. Now spending $2 - I can afford that price.
It is very well written and easy to follow. It definitely kept my attention the whole book. The author provides a lot of practical instruction and examples from her own experience that is clear and useful. I liked the conversational style, which includes the author's personal asides, experiences and jokes. The use of images illustrating the points throughout is excellent.
I was skeptical at first but now, I am so excited to go get some awesome bling for my kids and myself. My teenage daughter even wants to read the book. She actually asked me if we could go look for some bling. I see quality mother-daughter time in our future.
I'm thrilled I bought the book; it is a true treasure in itself - a real bargain under ten bucks. It's my lucky day. - Sunshineface (Amazon review on January 31, 2012).
