Sorry guys...I again received a few PMs wanting to know what gold float is....I guess they would be called Eluvial or alluvial exposits now....The old timers called them float....They are the result of gold veins being exposed to the elements at the surface..the gold breaks off and starts a journey down hill where it usually ends in a stream or sand wash where it becomes placer gold..Sometimes for millions of years it has traveled.....As it travels it will spread out...The source of the gold can be found by following the float uphill.....Art
