Rod has drilled over 67 Oil Wells and written over 17 books on electronics and the geophysical field. Rod's exploration has taken him from diving in the Philippines for treasure and sunken wrecks, to diving and hunting treasure off Padre Island, Texas. Using magnetometers and other equipment, including side-looking sonar made several expeditions successful. Using his instruments and some good old common sense, Rod was responsible for finding over 21 Veins in Central Idaho. Rod has joined his extensive electronics background with geophysical prospecting and research to help the small miner and prospector in the field.
Research is still the key to success in finding gold or anything else.
Mine was located in Eastern Oregon near Unity. Author drove a tunnel under this area and hit two rich veins. Part of the gold is on display at the State Geological Society in Baker, Oregon. Studying old mines can be very interesting and very dangerous. The author wants to remind you that you need competent equipment and know how to enter a mine.
