Trivia Question

 

My name is Ed. I am credited with the discovery of a ledge of silver so rich, that a town "too tough to die" grew up around it.

What is my last name, and what is the name of this town?

Answer

 

The Gold Propsecting, Treasure Hunting, Metal Detecting, Ghost Town Hunting

"REC ROOM"

gold only moves when the water pressure is high enough to move it. Therefore, when looking for a place where gold tends to concentrate, you must consider how the river or creek looks at flood stage. Not just an average rain storm rise in the water. I mean a 100 year or more flood. 

If possible, get above the river and look down to see large portion of the river, and imagine what it would look like during that 100 year flood. Make a note on where the curves are in the course of the river (once again at flood stage). Look at the insides of two curves and draw an imaginary line connecting the two. This is the GUT of the river. The gut of the river is a good place to find gold.
