All About Gold

I need to know what creeks in Albemarle are a good place to pan fpr gold and what kind of soils is gold found?

I live off Fink Rd on a road called Little Bear Rd. According to a old Gold mine map. There seems to be a few old gold mines in my area. Does that mean people found gold here. I have a creek running through my back yard and it is full of rocks. Quartz and iron ore. How do I find gold in a creek bed other than panning for it? I live in Albemarle NC.

How much would an actual goose egg of solid gold weigh?


In the children’s story “Jack and the Bean Stalk”, Jack steals a goose that lays golden eggs. Gold being one of the densest metals and goose eggs being relatively large eggs, how much would an actual goose egg of solid gold weigh?

Why is Gold still considered a precious metal?

Filed under: Earth Sciences & Geology — Tags: , , — @ 3:05 pm

They have just discovered a sunken ship with half a million Gold coins. More and more Gold is mined to the surface every day out-pacing demand. Every Jewelry store has pounds of it and every ounce of Gold ever mined never goes away or can ever be used up. Are you sure that Gold is still precious? It sounds like a future disposal problem.
Other than impoverished people, who doesn’t own some Gold?

How can there be gold in the upper layers of the earth crust?

Filed under: Earth Sciences & Geology — Tags: , , — @ 11:04 am

while most people believe the earth was once completely liquid, because it was so hot. The gold should have been fallen to the center of the earth because of its high density.
