I want to tell you the story of the richest square mile on Earth. A place where more than 1,000 veins and lodes are found in just a small area – many of which yielded super rich gold ores.

The placer deposits on the surface were amazingly rich as well. How did so much gold get concentrated into so small an area? In this video we will dig in and find out. Rich gold deposits are what we seek as prospectors, so let’s take a closer look at this super rich gold district. In June of 1893, some Irish prospectors headed into the outback chasing rumors of a gold find north-east of Coolgardie in Western Australia. Within a few days the trio found abundant alluvial deposits and within a week they had collected an estimated 100oz of gold. When local prospectors heard that more than 100 ounces of gold had been found in just a few days, it sparked a veritable riot. A week later, more than 1,400 men were working the new gold field.
