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.

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?

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?

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.

I have never panned for gold before and I would like to at least start where there might be some. I live just north of Detroit, I have read that their is palcer gold in Michigan. I could use some tips… I am also willing to try areas not too far into Ohio.

My father used to tell me stories about buried treasures and precolumbian gold. Supossedly, the buried gold would produce a blue flame that could be seen at night, and the country people and farmers would go out at night tracing this flames in order to find the treasure. Is this scientifically possible?

Ok, I’m a Geology 101 student and this question was placed on our study guide. I know gold would most likely be found at convergent boundaries but how would you concentrate it? Please, explain as simple as possible
