What is the difference between alluvial and quartz mining?

The word Alluvial describes a type of soil. It can be made up of sand, silt, clay, gravel, or other matter deposited by flowing water. Alluvial Mining is when a prospector gets the gold bearing soil from a creek, river or river deposits. Once they gather the soil and refine the material to concentrate they use a gold pan to pan for gold- the gold they find is called alluvial gold. Quartz reef mining is when it is mined from the source. Its particles of gold embedded in quartz. The difference between alluvial and quartz mining is that alluvial mining takes place far from the source of the gold and found in rivers and creeks. Quartz mining takes place at the source of the gold.

Use A Snow Shovel For More Than Snow?

If you have a snow shovel lying around for winter use, you can actually get far more out of it than simply clearing your snowy driveway and sidewalk in the winter. Use a snow shovel with a curve to clean up flooded water in your basement or garage after it rains. A snow shovel is also great for breaking up ice in the winter, and when you have an oil spill in your garage a snow shovel can shovel up something absorbent like cat litter used to clean up the oil.

An artisanal or small-scale miner is, in effect, a subsistence miner, who often undertakes the activity of mining gold seasonally - for example crops are planted in the rainy season, and mining is pursued in the dry season.
