AUddicted Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Literally I was detecting up a wash yesterday not knowing if it was gold bearing when I heard this screaming broken pick tip in an outcropping crack. Wasn't the 3 ouncer I was hoping for but it was encouraging that there "may be gold here", and there was. Can't wait to get back there. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUddicted Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 same thing I was thinking.......placer gold! The term Placer can be somewhat general as there are at least 7 basic types of placer. Often people refer to Alluvial Placer (worn by the force of water) as "Placer" and yes, these pieces are Alluvial. It's quite possible, before they became Alluvial, they were Eluvial (hillside placer) as there are steep slopes down to this particular ravine.
