Do you think the round rocks mixed in with the very promising looking rusty rock was put there by the river of by the glacier.. If
it was by the river it looks like very promising placer material.. If by the glacier then it might just be glaciel till... What do you think?

Glacer deposits down here in the lower 48 do deposit nice rounded gold. Teritary deposits BUT your in free canada and much different than us down here. Lanny from AB would definetely be a help in ID-John
 

A lot of the time the glacial till is then sorted by the rivers formed by the melting of the glacier. These move over time which will leave river like sorted deposits. In Michigan, in the area we prospect, we have several areas that have different layers and you never really know how far down the gravel layer will be.
