If you have good ground to work, a four seasons set of photos/videos of the area/river will show you things you likely didn't see at the time...all blown up and in great detail on your screen...yep. (From the personal experience files.)

Since we talking about pictures, and it is spring time, I wanted to share a tip that a wise miner shared with me.
In the spring and on a new claim (or claim to be), take A LOT of pictures. We forget how fast summer blooms and the forest hides things you can see in the spring. And boy was he right!
On our very first claim, we found a really nice place to camp. About 40 ft off the small gravel road, and only about 60 ft from the creek. Coming back about 1 month later, I almost drove right past it...lol...my partner DID drive past it. Luckily I was there first to give him a yell to stop. The bends in the creek that I could see just 4 weeks earlier, were now just bushes and thirsty trees.
The other reason he said, was that our minds don't have stop motion, zoom, crop or scan. I found 2 quartz outcrops in a cliff using zoom when I was at home looking at my pictures, while I never saw anything while I was standing right in front of the cliff.
Like the thread say's, take pictures.

One of my pictures from late fall revealed a low spot and concentration point in bedrock. The leaves filling it were golden but I didn't see it when I snapped the pic
