All streams meander to some extent. The most likely time is when flow is consistent and gradient is uniform. See Braided Stream.
When a stream has eroded the steep valleys to genteler slopes, the stream flows more slowly.Now water in the stream erodes along the sides of the stream bed rather than along the stream bottom. === ===

You find gold nuggets near a meander of a stream in California explain where in the meander area the gold nuggets were most likely found and why gold is deposited at this location?
The river's velocity is much slower on the inside bend of a meander, so any material being transported in the river is deposited.
How many feet are in a meander?
A meander, in general, is a bend in a sinuous watercourse or river. A meander is formed when the moving water in a stream erodes the outer banks and widens its valley.
Looping bend in the path of low gradient stream?
Meander.
