We just completed a trip to another river, and yes, there was definite movement and redistribution of gravels, and other prospectors have seen this as well.

And what do I think is the easy way? It’s what you can learn from the old timers that walked that ground many years ago.

I’ve been in enough mines to know better, and I mentally kicked myself several times. That was a close call…

Every time we prospected here we found gold, sometimes some really coarse flakes, but no large nuggets (yet).

Today, the greatest gold rushes occur due to technological advances capable of discovering gold where it once was extremely unlikely or difficult.
