Golden Legends Tales of Buried Treasure

Here is an article with a ton of information about gold prospecting. Did you know g roundwater collected from wells, springs, and drill holes may provide clues to the presence of subsurface gold deposits? As groundwater flows through the deposit, minute amounts of gold are leached from the rocks. These can sometimes be detected in groundwater samples collected from wells located down gradient from the deposit. USGS image. Learn about where gold has been prospected, the best productive areas, twice-worked areas, challenges in prospecting for color, and wealth of information from the USGS.

Here is a tale about a guy who got a bit too excited on finding a tiny nugget of gold. I was prospecting a club claim near Rye, Arizona. I had dug about 12 inches down and came into some heavy black sand. While panning down to the heaviest sand I saw a small pebble-sized piece of quartz. It was very translucent. Picking it out of the pan and looking at it, the sun just hit it at the right angle and I got a terrible flash to the eye. Then I saw a tiny pin point bit of gold in a bit of a crack in the quartz. On further examination it became clear that there might be more gold in that crack. I waved over it with my metal detector and by golly it went off registering gold. This was the first gold I had ever found in quartz. I went back to the camp ground to show my wife. After she acknowledged that she could see that tiny speck of gold, I decided to sit down and pass the time at camp. But then I realized something. If I had found a quartz chip with gold at only 6 inches, I should ...

For decades the scientific community has known about undersea commodities. The demand recently from China and other advanced economies has brought new interest in under ocean deposits. Zinc, gold, and copper are just some of the metals waiting to be excavated. A handful of companies are ready to begin mining sometime in one to five years. As the minerals come out of thermal vents, the sea water cools the gas and dust resulting in the precious metals being deposited on the ocean floor. Robotic skimmers are being developed that will scoop off the material and send it back to shore or another ship for processing.
