How do You Find Goldfields and Old Gold Mines in Western Australia

Its important to know not only where the goldfields and old gold mines are in WA but also what sort of mining is or was undertaken there;

For Example was the historical gold mining? :

• Alluvial Gold Mining
• Open Cut Mining
• Historical Dryblowing Deposits
• An area of Old Gold Mining Shafts
• Old tailings Dumps or Strip Mining areas

Its also very handy to know the production of the area and whether it was from crushed ore or alluvial gold.

This helps when you are looking for geological "patterns" to prospect for gold or to find metal detecting localities.

Finding NEW gold patches will depend on your research of:

• The type of gold occurrences in the area ,
• Understanding the Geological structure in the locality,
• Careful analysis of where gold might have originated... and is NOW after millions of years of geological upheavals in the locality.

The sites of old gold mines, dryblowing areas and mining areas can help you quickly outline areas to target and area search patterns to use to find that Virgin Gold Nugget patch.
