Everything you need to find more gold. Where to go, how the science works, and how to get the most out of Xaureum.
Australia is one of the richest alluvial gold countries on earth. From the WA Goldfields to the Victorian diggings, here is where to start your search and what the geology tells us.
Red means dig. Green means move on. But what actually goes into each score? We break down the four factors behind every Xaureum heatmap zone so you understand what you are looking at.
Gold is 19 times denser than water. That single fact explains almost everything about where alluvial gold accumulates. Here is the science behind the score.
Victoria produced more gold during the gold rush than California. Much of that gold is still there. Here are the best public fossicking areas and what Xaureum shows for each one.
The Otago goldfields of New Zealand's South Island are among the most accessible and productive recreational fossicking areas in the world. Here is everything you need to know.
Geoscience Australia, GNS Science, and USGS publish detailed geology maps for free. Most prospectors never look at them. Here is how to read them and how Xaureum uses them to score your location.
Everything in this blog is baked into the Xaureum scoring algorithm. Open the app and put it to work.
