First of all the gold you find on the rivers or in mines.
You must differentiate between native gold gold, quartz, legato and placer gold in the form of mote; the difference lies in the fact that the placer gold is dragged by the ice during the ice ages, and in his slow advance, gold was crushed by the enormous weight of rocks that were over and therefore today in the form of thin plates embedded in the rocks.
Gold River still is a secondary deposits of gold, is not only in the rivers but also in the surrounding terrain and this is because when rivers are periodically in full their water becomes high and impetuous and erode the sides of the rock with clay and straws of gold.
In the torrents suitable equipment is given by boots, a shovel, a sieve where stop golden straws and a bucket, the channel, which is a tool where to pass the water that arrives on the edges, not impetuous, with slots on the sides where you will go to deposit material by sift.
La batea, or pan, is the symbol of the gold digger. In the batea in addition to material from the work completed by a channel, you can put the material collected already sieved.
Mining equipment is made from suitable clothing to protect them from humidity and not get dirty, a torch, a helmet, a tow, gloves and a small hoe to sort the soil and the pieces of the fallen rock.
