This Placer Gold insight video will get you started plotting out the best places to start sampling so you won’t waste time, effort and money when a simple key site observation would have saved you all that hassle.

This video covers a demonstration of how to use the USGS MRDS and Topology to find gold near you. The trick to using these maps is to understand where gold was found and where it will be now.

This placer gold video shows the story of where gold goes when floods flow. This gives you an important insight into exactly what causes gold to move.

This tells what kinds of things form placer deposits and exactly where they would tend to form. It's important to understand these physical facts so you can easily step back and look at your site to evaluate where to dig next for your next big gold sample.

What’s the relationship between gold and the rocks around your site? Knowing this can make all the difference in the world as to knowing where to find gold and whether not you’ll even find gold.

Understanding the geology and topology of your gold site is crucial to knowing where to look. You will be looking specifically at the kinds of geology that leads you to gold and its recovery.

Just what to look for when hunting for gold. What to focus on when hunting for gold. What helps you see gold clues and how to know where gold hides.

How to locate gold when floods go away. Why trash is a leading gold indicator of your pay streaks location. What is common between gold and debris flow and why you need to know.

How to spot those deep places where gold concentrates. What makes gold trap out of the water flow. What and where gold traps form.

What rocks tell you about gold clues. This video shows tips and tricks you are looking for when inspecting rocks and minerals.

See the three main types of water directed stream erosion and what they mean to you when prospecting for gold.

Then look for the things that affect the "Gold is inside the bend" rule.

This tells you about the process of sampling to understand exactly how much gold you’re finding per unit volume in your sample hole. This is a key metric for you to get your head around when you’re looking at your gold site.

Do you want to know how to use your sample holes to figure out where more gold is? The gold samples will only tell you what’s happening in one spot, but put enough of them together and you can map out a paystreak.

Mine or move on takes paystreak sample mapping and your site information you collected during your site survey and assembles it into a picture of how you can recover gold efficiently from your site.
