"The A B C of Mining: A Handbook for Prospectors" by Charles A. Bramble is a handbook crafted for those eager to unearth their fortune, from the perspective of an experienced mineral surveyor in the late 1800s. It serves as a guide for people new to the mineral exploration field, packed with information about the tools, skills, exploratory techniques, and observational strategies needed to find minerals and ores. Specifically, it covers how to test and analyze minerals, understand physical properties of ores and field geology. Encouraging those with interest but little experience, the book describes how valuable discoveries can be made with limited resources, and that miners require a basic set of equipment plus the knowledge that comes from iterative experience.
