Reef gold: this gold will become smoother the further away it is from the source, the source being the reef. If the gold is jagged in appearance then the gold source is near!
Alluvial gold, river gold, placer gold: this gold will reduce in quantity the further away it is from the mother lode.
If your recovering kilograms of alluvial gold in one spot, then you are on the gold!
Next trick is to find the reef gold that deposited the alluvial gold!

Explain why color is not a good test for distinguishing between pyrite and gold?
Color is not a reliable test for distinguishing between pyrite and gold because both minerals can appear as a brassy yellow color. Other properties, such as hardness and specific gravity, are more useful for distinguishing between the two. Pyrite is harder and heavier than gold, so conducting tests based on these properties is more accurate.
Can i find gold in limestone?
Gold deposits are typically found in quartz veins and igneous rock formations, rather than in limestone. While limestone itself does not usually contain gold, it can be a good indicator of the presence of nearby gold deposits, as certain geological processes can concentrate gold near limestone formations. Conducting further research on the specific geology of the area you are interested in exploring can provide more insight into the likelihood of finding gold.
Why is gold mined where it is currently mined?
A number of metals, including Gold, are formed deep within the Earth. They only get anywhere near the surface were we can find them during a volcanic eruption. The first Gold miners were able to wash the gold nuggets out of river water when it was being washed downstream in the river. These days open cut mines a kilometre or more across are used to mine gold near the surface. Deep or underground mines which can extend 20 or 30 kilometres underground are being used as the easiest gold has already been dug out.
How do you distinguish gold from fools gold?
Gold is a heavy ductile metal and gold is an Element. Fools gold is actually Iron Pyrite and is brittle and light compared to gold. Gold has a specific gravity around 19 while fools gold (iron pyrite) has a specific gravity of 4.95 to 5.10. Fools gold is harder than gold. The hardness of Fools gold is 6 to 6.5 while Gold is softer and has a hardness of 2.5 on the Moh's scale of hardness. When hammered gold will flatten while other yellow minerals break Fools Gold (Iron Pyrite) is a sulfide of iron,with a metallic appearance and occurs either as distinct cubical crystals or in massive crystalline forms.Pyrite is slightly harder than steel and cannot be scratched with a knife while gold is much softer than steel and can easily be scratched with a knife. Pyrite emits sulfur when heated...gold does not. There are many differences between Fools Gold and Gold, that is why "fools gold" got its name.
What is the best terrain to find gold nuggets?
Gold nuggets are often found in areas with quartz veins, near water sources like rivers and streams, and in regions where there has been past gold mining activity. Pay attention to geological features like exposed bedrock, changes in soil color, and other signs that indicate the presence of gold-bearing minerals to increase your chances of finding gold nuggets.
How streak is used to distinguish between gold and pyrite?
Gold will have a yellow metallic streak, pyrite will have a greenish-black streak.
How do you distinguish the sex in a male sharks?
the male has elongated fins near its anus.
What do you call something that can distinguish two objects near by?
A sensor or a proximity sensor is typically used to detect and distinguish between objects located nearby.
Is weight a physical property that enables miners to distinguish between real gold and fool gold?
No, the physical property is DENSITY. Iron pyrite is less dense than gold.

Describe why color and streak are useful in identifying pyrite?
Pyrite's color is extremely similar to that of gold. However, the streak of pyrite is black. This can be used to distinguish it from gold.
How can you tell the difference between gold and gold plated brass?
1. Gold is denser than brass: weigh the object, and determine its volume (e.g. by measuring the displacement when it is sunk into water in a graduated cylinder). Calculate the density. Gold will come out near 19.4 grams/cubic centimetre; brass near 8.6 g/cm3. 2. Rub against the unglazed ceramic object, real gold leave gold streak brass plated will leave brass streak.
When and where did the gold rush start in NSW?
The gold rush in Australia started in May 1851 after it was announced that there had been the first strike of payable gold near Ophir (near Bathurst) in NSW.
How did the discovery of gold effect the population on the west coast?
People like gold. When the gold was found, people went to be near the gold.
Was the gold rush near anywhere?
It was in California
Does Millard County Utah have gold?
Why yes, yes it does! There is gold out near U-Dig!
What was a town that grew rapidly in the area near the discovery of gold?
A town that grew rapidly in the area near the discovery of gold was Nome, Alaska. After the discovery of gold there, the town nearly doubled in size overnight.
