[bradmoore8]

Are you using miners carpet or miners moss? What kind of fine gold recovery are you getting with your dredge? Mine is a Keene 3in. dredge highbanker combo. How wide is your box and motor size if you don't mind? Thanks and a great video

Of the 21 states in the US that produced any significant gold, NC ranks 15th, VA is 18, good luck.

@Baileygeep7 and youre a prick, so what.

[gerardog15]

why most of the prospectors always look for gold in rivers,.

[7777dmith7777]

@gerardog15 Gold is a rare earth metal which makes it approx. 1 part per billion when combined with all of the other minerals which make up the earth. With that being known, over millions of years rivers have been constantly washing earths gravel and rock, gold being 18 times heavier than other minerals it gets left behind in concentratd areas, so the best place to find placer gold is mostly rivers.

@gerardog15 .... thta's an easy one. You see, long ago, when the entire surface of the earth was covered with gold, in the billiuons of years that followed the elements carried off about 99.999% of that gold down into the oceans. That's the gold that was on or near the surface. The rest remained in the rocks. The rivers and streams, as well as the glaciers, did their job and besides taking the gold out to sea, they concentrated it in the rivers' beds. That's where to find it. Look there.

[jacksbark]

@gerardog15 .... Also, you have to look at the landscape as it is today and think about how it looked millenia ago. Where there used to be a river or stream, especially where there was a waterfall, rapids or a place where fast flow gave way to slow or no flow, or where some very high-flowing river met the sea, that's where the gold was dumped, deposited and concentrated. Some of that then got 'set' into newer rocks (shales, mudstone, sandstone and silty clays. Look there, too.
