>>1837053>helpful advice welcomeAlluvial gold will accumulate on the downstream side of boulders, particularly on the outside of bends. That’s where you want to start. Remember that the boulders along the bank are underwater in flood if you want to stay dry. Going in moving water without experience is asking for trouble.
Source: whitewater guide on gold bearing river, got involved with (industrial) mining after guiding.
One day guiding a couple of guys turned up panning at our put-in.
“Yeah good luck boys, we’re here every day and never found gold.”
Went back for afternoon trip. They already had 2 Oz. Not bad for a morning’s work.
