gold where to find it???

Based off this usgs report is there bigger gold that needs to be found??? read below tell me what you think

Placer gold was discovered Blank name Creek in 1913 and mining occurred almost every year up to and possibly after WW II (Hoare and Cobb, 1977). The creek has not been glaciated. Gravels in the narrow flood plain, up to 300 feet wide, were 14 feet thick at the mouth and thinned upstream to thicknesses of 1 to 4 feet (Maddren, 1915). About 2.5 miles of the creek were mined, mostly by crude hand methods that, before WWII, included ripping up and washing individual bedrock slabs. The recovered gold was coarse and included flat, pumpkin-seed-size nuggets. The grade ran from 0.06 to 0.12 ounce of gold per square foot of bedrock. Panning of the tailings after WW II recovered much fine gold (Hoare and Cobb, 1977, p. 6). An alluvial bench, with gravels up to 10 feet thick, is present along the east side of the creek. Gold is reported to be present throughout the bench gravels (Hoare and Cobb, 1977). Bedrock in the drainage is mostly clastic sedimentary rocks of the mid-Cretaceous Kuskokwim Group. These rocks are intruded and thermally metamorphosed by an Upper Cretaceous felsic stock in the headwaters of the creek; dikes and sills are present locally elsewhere (Hoare and Cobb, 1977; Box and others, 1993).

Yes i am

Then yes there is lots of bigger gold to be found. We do just about everything here in Australia bigger and better than the rest of the world, including gold

However if your asking about an area in Alaska then you should probably ask people more familiar with that or similar areas. Alaskan gold deposits are often very different from ours here in Aus. Looking over the report l would expect there is lots more gold to be found, but whether that gold would be economically viable to get is a question l couldn't answer.

Sounds like the area should be pretty easy to work with machines, but if they were originally poorly equiped they probably just went after the easy to access stuff. There is also the possibility that most of the good gold didn't travel far, it may be that they worked the productive areas and left the rest due to poor yeilds or they may have moved on to richer ground elsewhere or the war may have simply took away any available workers, or location issues or any number of other things.

So the report would suggest there may be good gold just waiting there but unless you did some sampling to confirm just where and how much then there really isn't any way to know.
