Gold doesn’t always look like gold. In this video, you’ll learn how to spot 3 ugly, overlooked rock clues that can be associated with gold-bearing systems, the kind most people walk past without a second glance. If you hike trails, check river gravels, or walk near road cuts and old dig sites, you may be stepping over the evidence that points to mineralization, without realizing it. We’ll break it down in simple terms so you can start training your eyes to recognize what matters in the real world. You’ll learn: – What gold-bearing quartz veins can look like in the field (textures, shapes, and context) – Why iron staining (“rusty” rock) and alteration can be a serious clue (and when it’s not) – The overlooked third clue that helps you decide what’s worth checking first Pay close attention to the third clue, it's the one that turns random guessing into real pattern recognition.
