1. Alluvial-Alluvial gold is found in quartz rocks in a 'gold' or water vein.

2. Reef-Reef gold in found in lakes, streams or rivers in the sand or gravel at the bottom. Gold is heavy, but soft so it sinks. Panning the ideal way to find reef gold.

3.Pyrite- Also know as 'fools gold', pyrite looks just like gold and the one way to tell if pyrite is pyrite or gold is if to lick your finger and put your finger on it and if it sticks it is gold.
