[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 672593, member: 3960"] A nugget of any size embeded in quartz will travel at a different rate and distance to a gold nugget due to its lighter specific gravity. Gold is heavy so if it gets deposited into a crevice or clay base it's likely to stay there. The smaller lighter or flakier nuggets are more easily moved by wind and water than solid chunky bits that have less surface area compared to their weight. [/QUOTE]
