We have a location where nuggets over an ounce have been detected over the past twenty years. This location is a small hilltop on which an ancient river channel once flowed.

I didn’t know what to expect because the area we were working was not close to the water, but we were pleasantly surprised when we began to pan out some nice flakes and a few pickers.

The small-scale miner has reasonable opportunity to exploit some of these small, rich placer gold deposits. 

Gold specimens that include visible crystal formations are among the rarest, most attractive and most valuable forms of gold to be found.
