Rimshot Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) statement I read."Even today, however, some gold seekers will use the light and simple pans for prospecting, systematically sampling gravels as they work up a stream, for example, and knowing that when the gold “color” stops, a vein or two of gold feeding into the stream may be close at hand."http://www.sierrafoothillmagazine.com/goldmethods.htmlAnyone care to explain this statement to me? TIA!RimLoL! Never mind. That means you just passed the veins up. duh......I'm not awake yet....srry. Edited July 6, 2013 by Rimshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homefire Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Like a Hound dog, pan going up stream. When the Gold stops it's time to look at the Hills and sides. The source could be a mile wide or just a bunch of crumbly crap yards wide. You never know. Most times it's a whole area that is busting loose etty bitty bits all over the place. I used that method to find Black Sands with Gold all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimshot Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 So to get at the source quicker you should pan down stream and as soom as you see gold look to the hills? Backward thinking I guess.....hehe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
