Volume 2 of me "Selections From the National Prospector's Gazette" is now available, focusing on Karl von Mueller's "Ask Exanimo" column. 15 years of reader submitted questions and Karl's answer are presented in a reader-friendly format, heavily indexed and cross referenced for your convenience. "Ask Exanimo" ran the entire 15 year history of the NPG and demonstrates Karl von Mueller's commitment to serving the prospecting, metal detecting, and treasure hunting communities.
For those not familiar with the project, I have taken the opportunity to begin re-releasing material from Karl von Mueller's groundbreaking treasure, metal detecting and prospecting publication: The National Prospector's Gazette (NPG). Published in a 42 issue run from 1969 to 1983, Karl's publication captures the imagination of a generation of readers who looked to Karl for no-nonsense writing and advice.
My own reading of the NPG demonstrated to me that much of what Karl von Mueller wrote about decades ago still rings true and that his advice still merits consideration today. Much of the information in the NPG is timeless and covers a wide variety of treasure-hunting related topics such as metal detecting, research, prospecting, mining and dowsing. Similarly, modern audiences can still benefit from Karl's musings on being self-sufficient, living off the grid, and preparing for personal and financial upheaval.
Recognizing that this information was still relevant, I likewise recognized that much of it was lost to modern readers, as the NPG had faded into obscurity. I also wanted to honor Karl by making something he worked so long and hard for, available again to a new generation of readers. After getting permission from Karl's daughter, Lou Ann, and his former publisher, Paul Tainter, I committed myself to republishing much of the available NPG issues in book format in volumes composed of specific column content that ran regularly in the NPG.
Two additional volumes are anticipated, with Volume 3 "Feature Articles" nearing its final stages with an anticipated publication time of late 2018.
My hope is that some of you have fond memories of the NPG or even Karl von Mueller himself and that you will enjoy stepping back, walking the nostalgic roads of some of treasure hunting's earliest and most interesting periodicals. If you aren't familiar with the NPG or Karl, Volume 2 is a fantastic offering in what is shaping up to be an amazing series and a worthwhile research tool in its own right.
