Placer gold is primarily purchased by gold miners, jewelers, and investors. Miners extract it from riverbeds and stream deposits, while jewelers use it to create finished gold products. Investors, including individuals and institutions, buy placer gold as a way to diversify their portfolios and hedge against inflation. Additionally, collectors may seek out unique or historic placer gold pieces for their value and rarity.

Montana is the state if you want to placer mine for sapphire.
