Gold doesn’t randomly scatter in rivers — it follows physics.
As flowing water transports sediments downstream, dense gold particles naturally settle in low-energy zones.
They become trapped within coarse gravel, accumulate above compact clay layers, and concentrate along cracks and irregularities in bedrock.
This process of hydraulic sorting creates predictable placer gold deposits found in river systems worldwide.
Understanding sediment layers means understanding where gold is most likely to accumulate.
