Description
North Molton Gold is a mineralogical thriller that delves into the history of gold mining in North Molton. Over 150 years ago, extensive operations took place at the mines, employing hundreds of people and sparking tales of gold discoveries. The author has uncovered incredible stories from those who worked in the mines, as well as conspiracies, intrigue, and fraud. The book explores whether these stories are based on fact or were designed to entice investors with false promises of rich rewards. A four-day survey in 2013 confirmed that commercial quantities of gold existed in the spoil heaps of the mines. The author's meticulous research has pieced together a detailed narrative, making this a fascinating read. The book is endorsed by Peter Stucley, who writes in the foreword: "You have done a really marvellous job! It was a fascinating read." This endorsement highlights the book's engaging and informative nature, making it an attractive choice for readers interested in history, geology, or detective stories.
