  • Why water traps are not always found near water, Placer Gold Prospecting. This episode I explore how water gold traps may be found in unusual places and why you must keep that in mind to systematically find more gold. Check out Sourdoughminer.com/Sys/ for more about my gold prospecting system.

      I get why you call yourself The Sourdough Prospecter. Sort of. There are businesses here in Fairbanks with Sourdough on it.

    I found something interesting from a stream in far north-eastern PA. It had worn down completely through the shale into some quartz-bearing bedrock. From just a small sample of gravel from each side of the little stream, I found fragments of sharp-edged quartz cystals and several flecks of bright silvery metal! Under a microscope, the flecks were clearly molten and had been squeezed between the facets of crystals on two sides, resulting in a triangular wedge-bulge shape for all 4 pieces, with fine parallel striations pressed into the metal which match those found on natural quartz.
    I need a few more pieces to get enough to test the metal (beyond the HCl test... they didn't react at all, so it's not flecks of solder!), but I'm certain they must be either silver or platinum, and what's more, I am certain they are native deposits and not placer. The fine edges are far too sharp and fresh. Combined with the fresh pieces of quartz crystal, and I think the spot is VERY close to the source!

    Anyone who tells you the gold is gone is more than likely mining it.

    Oh ho... well now this is interesting. There are a few places in central NJ where the furthest extent of glaciers left behind some large piles of rocks out of Ontario. I shall have to test the streams around those. There are MILES of streams with glacial till in blobs between the Burlington and Trenton area. One can tell the rocks do not belong, as they are seriously water-worn quartzite and schist rocks of between baseball and basketball-size sitting atop a layer of dense clay and sediment a hundred or more feet thick. They were clearly deposited there from above! It was confirmed in just the past decade that it is glacial material.

    I took out lots of gold as in the video, below hwy 49 at the south yuba river bridge at Indepence trail area, several trips to the same spot, every year..
    It's an ideal location for a trap..
    It seems no one is interested in it, because when I go back, it's never touched and the few big cobble stones I placed in the area arent moved..

    I’m getting in to larger scale placer mining and we will mine one side of the valley to the other some times hundreds of metres, but I don’t think the deposits are made due to unusually high flow I think it’s ancient river paths that Change over time I have been looking into geomagnetic surveys that have looked at previous river paths and compared to the previous geological interpretations of what was there the mag show the river paths have been so much more complex than previously thought at scales of magnitude, very interesting really
