..........Hello fellow prospectors, my name is Chuck Lassiter and I have been on a Midwest Gold quest for over twenty years now. In that time I have gained considerable knowledge about the properties of Midwest placer gold, including where, why and how it forms deposits along a creek or river. I’ve also discovered how to locate the best gold deposits in any stream by using geological maps, indicator minerals, systematic sampling and the characteristics of a given stream. I’ve had to learn most of these things the hard way, through years of research and thousands of hours of prospecting in hundreds of streams and rivers throughout Indiana, Ohio and Illinois. Over the years I’ve used everything from a simple gold pan to a 5 inch suction dredge to extract gold from Midwest glacial gravels. I’ve even found dozens of gold and hundreds of native copper nuggets using a metal detector. For the past five years I have been condensing all of my knowledge and experience into a book to help other Midwest gold seekers consistently find more, bigger and better gold! Whether you use a pan, sluice, highbanker, dredge or metal detector, you can benifit from the information in this book, be sure to check it out!

INDIANA RECREATIONAL PROSPECTING petition
We won our court case, but there is still a long way to go in the battle for recreational prospecting freedom. I have started a petition that I will personally deliver to our state representatives when complete. Please take the time to read & sign this petition and pass it along to everyone you know. We can change things for the better, this petition is only the first step, but a lot of signatures will be needed. click here >>>PETITION

PUPPY WANTED - I am looking for a pittbull/lab mix puppy for a good home, another friend to keep me company on my outdoor adventures. The best dog I ever had (Lucky Dog) was a pitbull mix, she passed away a few years ago and I am searching for another dog with the same qualities that she possessed. If you know of a female pittbull mix puppy that is in need a loving family, please send me an email: admin@midwestprospector.com  I live in the north central Indiana area, but I could drive farther. Thanks, Chuck Lassiter
