The gold that ends up in riverbeds ultimately still comes from deposits that formed underground. Usually, gold deposits can form in two broad ways: underground, associated with magmatic processes (the movement or emplacement of molten rock) or at the earth’s surface, associated with the movement of water. So why gold can be found in and alongside bodies of water Small suction machines are currently marketed as “gold dredges” for individuals seeking gold, for example, many amateur in offshore from the beach of Nome, Alaska, are using small portable gold dredge sucking for placer gold in riverbed. The original gold dredges were large, multi-story machines built in the first half of the 1900s. I am assuming water from a spring? Maybe for a placer operation in the wash below the 4wd road? Might be a good clue to old placer workings in an area to watch for?Īnd in a spot on the Agua Fria river south of the ghost town of Gillette, I spotted what looked like a large TV antenna perched on a hillside boulder beside the river crossing? Duh,what was that ? Is somebody living underground there? There was a ventilator pipe sticking out of the rocks nearby too now that I recall.You never know what you will see driving backroads in the search for gold.A gold dredge usually refers to a placer mining machine that extracts gold from sand, gravel, and dirt using water and mechanical methods. Off to one side, there were long skinny iron pipes coming down from higher up the hillside. We stopped at a spot on the 4wd trail that had lush greenery showing. I was out in the desert once, north of Pleasant Lake north of Phoenix, with a prospecting buddy on a hot day in June to gold hunt.
Ps,Where do you get enough water in a dry hot desert to run a wash plant? The only water sources seem to be the occasional mountain springs or these Tinnaja water tank things on the topo maps?
