Finding Placer Gold

Finding Placer Gold

A good idea on how to prospect an area for placer gold deposits.

The best way is to sample a large area and collect the black sands and heavies to compare for any differences…….study bedrock zones around you for miles on all four corners…….study rocks in all samples you dig in sampling holes and up any water ways………..after time you will get a good idea what’s modern or pre-glacial to ancient………you will for the most part see the differences right away from the modern channels and so on………Take care.
