Identifying epithermal gold deposits is essential for recognizing valuable specimens. Learn to spot ore characteristics today.
This video provides a practical look at identifying gold and silver ores, specifically focusing on epithermal type deposits. Filmed on location in Virginia City, we examine actual specimens to help you understand what to look for when you are out in the field. By comparing a large gold nugget with authentic pieces of silver ore from the Comstock Lode, you can better train your eye for your own prospecting trips.
We also discuss the geological context of these samples and how they relate to the broader science of metal formation. For those looking to deepen their knowledge, my book Fists Full Of Gold covers these fundamental skills in greater detail.
