Why Some Beaches Have Gold in Every Single Pan — And How to Spot One Near You

The Gold Claim Book: https://thegoldclaimbook.com Some beaches hold gold in almost every pan, and it’s no accident. In this video I explain how it gets there: rivers and eroding cliffs carry gold down to the coast, and waves and currents then sort the heavy material and concentrate it in the same few places along the shore. I show you how to spot a beach that is likely to work, from the black sand lines that mark where heavy minerals settle, to the layers left behind after storms, to the way the coastline bends and slopes. I also cover how to read a beach before you dig, where on the sand to start testing, and how to pan it so you don’t wash away the fine gold that beach sand is known for. I’m honest about the limits too: most beaches carry little or nothing, the gold is usually very fine, and you need to check the local rules on collecting before you take a single pan. Learn the signs and you’ll stop walking over gold-bearing sand without knowing it.
