I found no placer gold but I did find a small amount of float gold...To me float gold comes from an exposed gold vein and may have been working it’s way downhill for millions of years..I find the source is under 5 miles away...If you want to work hard send another map in the direction of the arrow...Art

Yes you may want to crush some of the Quartz....You can put it in big wash tub and cover it while hitting it with a sledge hammer...then get one of those metal fence post drivers and turn it to powder with a big bar...Pan it...mark where each sample came from...The main vein is just setting there while the weather washes it away...The gold will start at the vein and move downhill in an upside down V pattern. You may want to take samples at the tree line...dig a hole about every 10 feet...

When gold gets into a stream it becomes Placer gold...Until it reaches the water it is float..Art

Hello youngdizzy,In both pictures, dowsing revealed an attraction to gold in the areas of the green circles. The attractions on the state hwy at the creek may be small caches. In the creek placer pockets. The attractions further north near that bldg. structure may be possible gold pockets/sm coin cache.Thanks for posting your pictures.Jon

I think what you are looking for is a small outcropping..... the weather starts to erode it....the pieces fall off....they usually work their way down into the soil.....Art
