5 Rocks You Need To Look For When Gold Prospecting
What Rocks To Look For When Gold Prospecting. It helps to know a bit about rocks when seeking gold. Granite, basalt, schists, slate, and shale are rocks to look for when gold prospecting. Large quantities of iron oxides such as magnetite, ironstone, or hematite in an area can also indicate the presence of gold.
