Find Rocks with Gold For the average small-scale prospector, there are just a few methods that work well to locate gold in rock. First, I always recommend that you carry a gold pan and sample the gravels in the area. Even in a desert, you can dig down into a dry wash and pack in some water to use while panning. If you are able to locate even some very fine gold, this will tell you that you are in...
