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 is meander made?
Meander formation Water flows faster on the outer curve of the bend of a river and slower on the inner curve so the outer bank gets eroded, but silt is deposited at the inner bank. Over time as the outer bank wears and the inner one grows, a meander forms. As the process continues, the meander becomes more loopy. If you doing this for work/school I suggest you use diagrams/pictures to show each stage.

What is the outside of a river bend called?
Because the inside of the meander has deposited rocks and rubble building it up and making the water shallower whereas the outside of ther meander is being eroded by fast moving water.
How sediment buildup and erosion in a meander can alter the course of a river?
As a river deposits sediment on the inside of a meander and erodes the outside of the meander, the meander migrates toward the outside edge
