Deposits
A well protected area from the flow of water is a great location to find gold (McCracken). Gold is very heavy and is often found in a stream bed (McCracken). Many different gold deposits are dealt with in different ways. Placer deposits attract many prospectors because their costs are very low (Lawler). There are many different places gold could be placed, such as a residual, alluvial, and a bench deposit.

Famous quotes containing the word deposits:
“Were all the worshippers of the gold calf to memorialize me and request a restoration of the deposits I would cut my right hand from my body before I would do such an act. The gold calf may be worshipped by others but as for myself I serve the Lord.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
