Culverts of Gold 
The old adage that "gold is where you find it" is only partially true. Yes, gold can be found in some unlikely places, but gold is more likely to be where others have found it in the past. The old-timers didn't get it all, and today we have much better recovery methods and equipment compared to the days of yore.

If you live in a known gold-bearing region or will visit there, here's a "where to find gold" tip you might not have thought about before: roadway culverts.

Culverts under roadways are natural traps for gold. The corrugation of the galvanized sheet metal creates turbulence, causing the gold to settle. Process the material collected in the first 3 to 4 feet of the culvert opening. Also check the area to the right, left, and below the entry of the culvert. A wide flow will strike the culvert abutments and cause the gold to settle out at the mouth.
