  • Here we are back at this pocket AGAIN! and sure enough it keeps giving us GOLD and lots of it. Pete and I finally removed the one big bolder that was sitting in the pocket to get to the ancient gravels below. and what we found will keep us coming back for more and more!

    My dad and I used to go gold panning in Alberta. We never found anything great, but we always found something. My funniest memory is us talking to a farmer friend of his who was skeptical about there being any gold in the area. My dad returned to his pick up, grabbed his gold pan and a garden hose, and put a scoop of the gravel driveway in it. Sure enough there were a couple of tiny pieces of flour gold in it. The farmer’s jaw sagged and kept looking at it and his driveway, not able to believe he’d been driving over gold for years. Good times.

    What makes the gold form in the flakes/pickers like that? Is it hydraulic fracturing of the rock and then deposition into those formed cracks?
    Could you use the shape to have a guess at where the gold might be in the bed rock?
    Also loving the landscape, the Fraser is a beautiful part of the world in the sunshine, even if a bit chilly in Feb...
