The Biggest Lie in Gold Prospecting

For years, prospectors have been told that gold settles in "low-pressure" zones. But is that really what's happening?

In this video, I break down one of the biggest myths in gold prospecting and explain the real physics behind why gold accumulates where it does. We'll look at water velocity, stream energy, turbulence, and the river features that actually trap gold—not just the oversimplified "low-pressure" explanation.

Understanding how rivers transport and deposit gold can dramatically improve your success in the field and help you stop wasting time on spots that only sound right.
