Gold Prospecting for Beginners Tips

This this video you will learn where to find gold at Oallen Ford along the Shoalhaven River in New South Wales, Australia. Every year, the Shoalhaven River floods from the rains, constantly moving gold and refilling spots. To maximize your gold recovery, just dig the top 40 cms (~one foot) where the gold settles. Digging deeper doesn't lead to bigger or better gold.
