Overview
A thrilling adventure into the heart of gold and diamond mining. When young Jim Richards left the army to chase a dream, he had no language skills, no money and no idea, just the kind of gold lust that has driven fortune hunters throughout history. And when he struck gold and diamonds in the remote rivers of Guyana, his problems and his success grew in equal measure.
Gold Rush is a tale of adventure, disaster, and skulduggery, where vast fortunes could be made or lost based upon luck or persistence. Richards recounts his experiences in various gold and diamond rushes around the world, from diving for diamonds in South America to discovering a goldmine in Australia.
Jim Richards has done it all:
- Dived for diamonds in the piranha-infested rivers of South America
- Discovered a fabulously rich goldmine in the Australian outback
- Got caught up in the world's biggest mining scam in Indonesia
- Started a gold rush in the war-torn jungles of Laos
For readers interested in adventure stories, mining history, and tales of exploration and risk-taking.
