The Gold Insider
Gold is closer than you think — most people just walk right over it. The Gold Insider teaches you to read the ground like a prospector: the rocks that hide gold, the river spots where it settles, the signs almost nobody recognizes, and the simple field checks that separate real gold from fool's gold. New videos every week. Good luck out there, gold hunter.

Four days ago I asked which rock you'd keep. Most of you picked the white one.
That's the whole reason I put this together.
The Gold Prospector's Bible — 50 field-tested tricks to stop getting skunked, the printable 10-Minute Streamside Checklist you run before you dig, and the 30-Day Skunk-Proof Roadmap, which is still going out free with it.

Free one, because somebody asked in the comments this week.
When you find a quartz seam in a river rock, don't look at the quartz. Look at the inch of rock on either side of it, where the vein meets the host. That contact line is where the chemistry changed, and where the chemistry changed is where the gold came out of solution.
Most people crack the quartz and throw the rest away.

I lost the better part of three seasons working the wrong end of a creek because of something I read in an old magazine and never questioned.
The gold wasn't where the water slowed down. It was where the water had stopped being violent — and those are not the same place.
Anybody else been working a stretch for years without asking why it's supposed to hold gold?

One of these two is worth breaking open. The other one is the rock everybody fills their pocket with.
Which one would you keep?
