Reading our stack of old magazines we learn that the uranium prospecting madness peaked around 1955 and died out over the next year. Maybe after hundreds of eager prospectors threw their money away and got nothing in return.
Like in many other boom and bust scenarios, word spreads quickly when things don't turn out as advertised.
Here's one advertisement promising riches on the uranium bonanza. Yeah, right.
"Find uranium", 1955

And here's another one -located in the opposite page of the same magazine. At least this ad promises the reader a money saving kit.
