The 3 Easiest and Cheapest Ways To Find Gold in Almost Any Creek!image.png

👉 The Second Pan — for men who are done going home empty-handed: https://thesecondpan.com Most men walk up to a creek and start digging where the digging is easy. Soft, loose, open gravel, nothing in the way. That's exactly where there's nothing, because loose gravel is loose for a reason — the water moves it, and anything that moves with the water isn't heavy enough to be gold. Gold does the opposite. It stops. And it stops in the same three places in every creek on the continent, and none of them cost you a cent to work. The first is moss. The green mat hanging over the water line on the bank is natural matting, and it has been catching fine gold every time that creek came up for as long as it's been growing there. Pull a handful, wash it out in a bucket, pan the sludge at the bottom. The second is bedrock. Where the rock is exposed, look for cracks running across the current rather than along it, and get right down into them with a screwdriver, a spoon, anything with a thin end. Gold that reached bedrock stopped there and hasn't moved since. The third is the inside of a bend. On a curve the water slows on the inside, and anything heavy drops out of it right there, usually at the upstream end of the gravel bar before the bar properly starts. Same reason gold piles up behind a boulder. Be clear about what these are. They're sampling, not production. Worked properly they will tell you in an afternoon whether a creek carries gold at all, which is the question that actually matters, and they'll put colour in your pan doing it. They won't fill a jar. And the honest version of "almost any creek": if there's no gold in the ground upstream, there's no gold in the creek, and no technique on earth
