Look for the signs in any break on hillsides, also sudden green patches on dry hills or banks.
Unexplained dips in river valleys dry bottoms.
The list goes on... you have to be a detective watching for the signs.

Hey this was a great informational video! Question .... in more arid areas (namely Lincoln County, NM) would horsetails be indicative of gold? I take it that the horsetails have to have some sort of underwater source as well...like the reeds, right?

Horsetails do require some water to grow, but its mostly surface water,(run-off).
Trees and water loving plants will show hidden low spots in bedrock or clay pockets containing water.
Look for some consistency with indicator plants.
Also when in the desert or arid areas you sometimes come across patches of course gravels in slight depressions. This represents "drain spots" where water rapidly drains under ground. An excellant pointer to under ground streams and potential go

Horse tails do require some water to grow, but not as much as reeds.
Horse Tails are, (or can be), a indicator of gold.
I use this technique quite often, Mainly for high benches.
