Since gold is so heavy it settled in areas with water drainage or mostly where water traveled. The old timer miners knew this and this is where they would focus most their work. Old time miners were smart and good at finding gold but were limited due to their lack of technology.
This is why many people that use metal detectors today are still successful. The old timers worked hard and found their share of gold but they also left a lot behind. Whenever you are around old gold mines remember to check their old tailing (left over piles of dirt and rocks that have been processed).
Since their equipments would miss so much gold you can still find some here today. Unfortunately these old mines attract a lot of people, and where there are people there is trash. Chances are you will find you fair share of metal garbage around these areas, hopefully you also find some gold!
