  Your presentation is obviously from years of reading combined with lots of practical experience.  You mentioned important things that are often ignored by many "professionals".  I wish we were neighbors because you have a wealth of experience that needs to be shared.  I'm looking forward to watching all your other gold related videos.  Thanks for posting.

  I really appreciate your enthusiasm. After watching this, the only thing stopping me from finding gold in western Australia is that I am not in Australia or remotely close. Still, great video.

  A latest study by ABC Science suggests the formation of these nuggets may be due to electricity generated by the pressure of earthquakes — a phenomenon known as piezoelectricity

  Very good.  Here is Southern California, you hunt the iron saturated quartz that looks like red rust on the faults.  They call it reef gold, meaning it is always microscopic.  The goldless quartz is the clear to white milky quartz, called bull quartz.  Here is the US and Canadian shield, metal bearing ore deposits are commonly in volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) vents of Precambrian age.  The sulfide zone forms the top caprock.  Stockwork gold is lower down in the pipes and fissures of the vent.  Looking top-down, you get the sulfates in the outer ring (aureole), the sulfides ringed inside that and the ore body proper in the center.  The common sulfate indicator is barite, often for lead deposits, which mix with gold and silver.
