Stupid question from a newb

[jonesy2012]

So, im just getting into the geology of gold, but here is my question. New so bear with me. If you find flakes and placers, shouldn't you through hard work and research be able to find the "lode" source? It obviously isn't that easy, but isn't that the basic premise? Thanks for your insight!

I agree. It was a great great thread. Very informative.
