Saskatchewan River, (Edmonton North and West) Fraser, Columbia River, Penne D'Oreille, Kootenays, Bugaboos, Atlin, Bralorne, Cariboos (Quesnel) They all have nuggets. The nuggets did not die because the mining did. 96% of all the gold in BC/AB is fine gold however. The best detector hands down is a shovel, a 14 inchg gold pan and an eye for gravel and black sand. You can use a small (< 6 inch coil) beat-frequency detector as most nuggets you will find are small. (< 0.10 inches) You can also use a gold spear or a beep mat. Beep mats are expensive, but you can make your own transistor BF - FM detector for a couple of hundred tops and with multiple coils including a fine helical 1/8 inch in diameter, 12 inch in length coil, you can do as well as, or better than a gold spear or commercial detector. If you want plans to make a detector I could transliterate them and put them in an html file. Give me a week. Diagrams will be rough but description accurate. The original design is prior to FET's and is by a electronics engineer. Despite commercial claims the principle has not been improved upon. Materials are very cheap and the cost estimate is high. The BF detector will differentiate iron, copper and gold. The smaller the coil, the closer you have to be and the smaller the nugget it will find. The sound is highest frequency with gold, so the detection is unmistakable. It goes low with iron, and medium with copper. This is by conductivity. A pan must be a companion. Most areas of BC/AB are documented. Some of the better tributary streams are not. Perhaps 200 rivers and creeks in the two provinces are documented. They require careful testing. The only practical way to do this is by pan going up stream. The best places to testarethe fastest. Do not test at the inner parts of bends. That is the geological equivalent of an old wives tail. Falls however are productive. Any place that has standing waves is productive. The chief producer of placer gold in creeks is individual lead zinc silver gold veins crossing the creek. For this reason the volcanic areas of BC and AB are the best places to check for gold streams. pages.ca.inter.net EC<:-']
