Equipment Needed to start collecting precious metals?

If you mean gold - a sleuth and a pan, waders, and a lot of gumpshun'. Just kidding about. I collect precious stones, but I do by internet ordering.

Out in the field I would have no idea.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
