When prospecting for gold in rivers an streams make sure to check the moss. When a river fills up from heavy rain it loosens up tiny gold particles(flour gold). The flour gold gets caught in the moss that because of the risen water level is now submerged or partially submerged and gets trapped staying there when the water level drops. When getting the moss look for large rocks that have moss and a bit of a crevasse in front of them to collect the gold particles. When getting the moss make sure you take all the dirt and debris you can. I then take the what I have and separate it to get all the moss out before panning.
