STREAMS OF GOLD
A beginning prospector's guide to alluvial deposits
A.W. Jackson
Copyright January, 2011
Detailing my experience and studies into prospecting and stream technology. The secondary current of the stream and its ability to construct gravel bars which form part of Nature's natural stream riffles.
Alluvium is a slave to the stream and Mother Nature. All alluvium including gold is treated as equal and not discriminated against by the power of the stream. Then there is the prospector's hope that gold is an ingredient of the alluvium laid down and his tedious search to locate it.

About 35 years ago I purchased my very last prospecting book, read it once and then never opened it again, or any other book referring to stream prospecting as none consisted of any genuine aide. The main theme of the book, as with all, was commonplace knowledge, detailing the inner bend of a stream as the most positive location in your search for gold because of a low pressure and slowing of the stream over the bar, along with minor reference to sampling a stream for gold. As with most information offered to the beginning prospector, if you desire to learn how to utilise a gold pan, then buy any prospecting book or take a look at the Internet.
Whenever I view the Internet and read what is purported to be a guide, or some form of assistance to the beginning prospector, I read comments about floods, bedrock, the gold trail, gravel bars, along with other random comments and opinions which infer to certain constants relating to the deposition of gold.
I find the information supplied to be somewhat incorrect, very insufficient, sometimes misleading and other times occasionally responsible.
The beginning prospector is definitely faced with a dilemma if trying to sift thought all the information that is available over the Internet nowadays.
STREAMS OF GOLD, amongst other things, considers and discusses -
Reference is, as in most information sought by the prospector, directed to the most recent flood within the stream. Then suddenly one is being directed to dig to bedrock to locate the favourable gold, it manage to arrive at bedrock in a hurry, what happened to the most recent gold distributed by the flood?
The gravel bar - I don't believe a low pressure or slowing of the stream is capable of piling such a magnificent mass of alluvium that increases in stature as it backs away from the stream. There must be stronger forces at work?
Sampling a stream - did once or twice? I find it impossible to believe that any recently deposited gold could migrate to a depth in excess of 200 millimetres in such a hurry?
The ideal location to begin your search is where gold has previously been found, though correct, this comment delivers the impression, "You are where the gold is so dig and enjoy"? From this location you must search for an indication of its presence, then if you are fortunate enough to locate it begin your search in earnest.
Sampling a stream is a chore, not an enjoyable task if it is managed correctly.
If you have sampled successfully there must be further favourable sites than the renowned inside bend or point bar?
The 'Gold Trail', inside bend to inside bend? If your gold creeps along the stream bed how does it negotiated such a maize of obstruction. If it is transported by suspension, why isn't the trail outside bend to outside bend. Or is there more to consider. The stream is very turbulent and dangerous during times of flood and the secondary currents created are of a very savage temperament?
Does any beginning prospector understand how his gold finds its resting site or is it just common knowledge that certain sites are better than others.
Why does the gold detector appear to locate gold away from the favourable or known deposition sites within a stream?
What part does the stream play in the deposition of gold?
Does the stream realise the distinction between gold and any other alluvium in its control?
Why should Mother Nature treat gold any different to quartzite or ironstone and does she realise the difference, or is all just another slave of the stream?
When I first began my quest 40 odd years ago I believed the inside bend, or point bar of a stream was the best location to find gold. I met an 'Old Time Prospector' and became his pupil for about 18 months. Did this man know the stream? At the end of my apprenticeship I was very much aware of some of the favourable locations to find my gold.
The best advice he offered me was to "Question everything, and be completely observant whenever I found my gold as the stream will tell a story." Over time I began to notice very slight or discrete differences in the make-up of the stream, whether by a slight increase or decrease in bank height, a widening of the stream bed or alteration to gavel class or size, there are tell tale signs. These slightly noticeable alterations started me to 'question everything'. It was now time to ask 'Why' rather than 'Where I found my gold'.
My studies had me in and out of libraries, I began to read up on stream technology and the more I learnt, the more I required knowing. There are very strong and powerful forces at work within a stream. Each and every one of these forces is deciding where the next alluvial dump will occur and 'Mother Nature' is only dumping her alluvium, she doesn't care or know, her only concern is that it is a slave of the stream, it is the prospector that hopes gold is an ingredient of the alluvium laid down.
