The Heavy Mineral Trail: Follow Clues Without Guessing

Описание: Mô tả SEO (copy/paste)
Heavy minerals and black sand don’t “prove” gold—but they can guide you to the right ground if you read them correctly. In this video, I explain a practical method I use to follow the heavy mineral trail so prospecting becomes evidence-based instead of random guessing.
You’ll learn what heavy minerals actually indicate about river energy, sorting, and trap efficiency, how to use the magnet test without fooling yourself, and how to run a simple field process that shows you whether a signal is building, fading, or just background noise. The goal is not a pretty pan—the goal is a repeatable pattern that tells you where to spend your time.
