I was up near the middle fork of the american river looking for old tertiary gravels a couple weeks ago and i came across some large pieces of cement loaded with river gravels. I also found some tailings from the drift mines that have been filled in and compared the tailings with the cement they were both loaded with small round quartz pebbles. I have heard about the old miners finding cement with gold in the ancient riverbeds. I did not actually bring back some of the cement to test but i did find some gold in the tailings. Anybody else have expierence with finding old cemented gravels?
