[QUOTE="Tiber, post: 639613, member: 22848"] OK goldie, I've this thread 6 times and understood 12.36 % of it!! If I understand you correctly, firstly, if you don't know geology you're wasting a lot of time, secondly, there's not much river gold that originates from the stream itself, and thirdly, most alluvial gold comes from paleoplacers through the action of geological uplift (of ancients layers) and the work of erosion, whether rain or river. Fourthly, if you want serious gold, you've got to dig deep and in the right spot. Few of us are in a position to dig a mine shaft, so alluvial gold by detection seems to be the best bet. Question is; how to find the likely place of a paleoplacer "lift" and its "downhill" region where there might be surface gold? Is this possible for the amateur? Can you do it on Geovic? Do you have to be able to read a detailed geological map? Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
