What is the difference between a gold nugget a gold reef and alluvial gold?
A nugget is a chunk of native gold metal- while fairly pure, may contain traces of other metals. In mining, Reef refers to a vein of high grade ore. Alluvial gold is gold that has been moved and ground down by water- such as the placer gold (gold dust) found in river and stream beds.
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.
How can you distinguish if the gold is near?
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!

Why did the Australian gold fields end?
The Australian goldfields did not really end; it was just that the gold was harder to get to, so the goldrush ended.The Australian gold rush ended because the alluvial gold, that is, the gold which was able to be reached easily, was mined out. Alluvial gold sat on the surface and was easy for prospectors to find.Once the "easy pickings" ran out, only large companies had the equipment to dig down deep to where the reef gold was. There is still much more gold in Australia, but by early in the twentieth century, most of it could only be reached by heavy industrial mining equipment. This is the primary method of gold extraction in Australia today.
