Nevada gold is still hiding in plain sight… and today I’m proving why old stamp mills left MASSIVE gold behind — especially in waterfalls and bedrock traps. If you want to find more placer gold, this is the spot most prospectors ignore. In this video, I break down the geology and old-timer mining logic that explains exactly how gold gets caught below historic mill sites — and why waterfalls, plunge pools, and bedrock cracks can build up serious pay streaks over time. You’ll see: ✅ Where the “leftover” stamp mill gold really ends up ✅ The best waterfall gold traps (bedrock cracks, ledges, plunge pools) ✅ What to look for in black sand and heavy concentrates ✅ How to work the area efficiently and safely in the field 👇 QUESTION FOR YOU: If you had ONE spot to check below an old stamp mill — would you hit the plunge pool, the cracks, or the downstream bedrock shelf?
