I remember driving in from Gold Canyon to Apache Junction and 25' off the the hwy60 there was the Crocodile Hunter and his entire crew lifting up and filming under some boulders . You could hear him telling a rattlesnake that he was a "naughty boy " that memory is now priceless. So come on, let's go !

I'd like to add that in porphyry deposits you have two systems of veins. The first is as you mentioned, linear/parallel systems where the density of the quartz veins drops the further you get from the central hydrothermal enrichment zone. The second is radial/concentric such as the San Juan system in Arizona. There are both radiating veins that tend to be more or less equally distributed around the uplift, and then there are concentric veins as well. Imagine them like this...take a piece of wax paper and cover it with wet sand. If you slide the handle of a wooden spoon under the wax paper, lift only the spoon so that cracks appear, and then set it down again, you'll see the formation of the linear parallel systems. Consequently you'll get the side shoots showing the 45 and 90 degree variation on those main cracks/fault/veins. Now do the same thing, but instead of a handle of a wood spoon, try and put a tennis ball under there. As the ball pushes up on the underneath surface of the wax paper, it will cause the cracks to form around this central zone of pressure in concentric and radial fashion. In both systems, as you get further from the central pressure that caused the deposition of the quartz and mineralization, you lose the frequency of the veins. BUT if you can map the trends of those veins you may be able to find more that haven't yet been discovered.

The coast of California has plugs left over from the erosion of the volcanoes. My friends daughter gave my son a rock when we were at the beach. When we got back home I looked at it, I was like is this quarts? It is smoothed out and there looks to be a few small pieces of gold embedded into it.

After binge watching you're video's for days some over and over and studying all the maps and USGS data. Now I understand why I bumbled into the gold I found. Gold where's a iron hat. It is in the middle of iron ranges and has gold mines on both sides. Good thing it is months until ice out I will need that much time to study where I want to go pan. So much fun. Thanks again C'mon lets goooo! I am thinking june

He' getting into it deep in explaining this. Where I'm from, I would follow the slate/quartz/granite veins to find gold in the old mines. The Haile mine that was in Kershaw,SC was the first mine I had ever visited. I done research on this mine when it was first opened. They used the Thies Chlorination Process. And after that, I would visit other old mines thru the Carolinas. The gold was located in the piedmont plateau.
