As I have spent the last couple years prospecting around Nova Scotia I have learned the best places to look that has had the best results. I'm not saying that this is the ultimate truth, im just saying that in my experience this is what I found.
The shore that is up by the Northumberland Straight hasn't given my much luck with finding gold. The quartz deposits have been slim with very little nice crystal formation. There is nice beach glass, nice sandy beaches but I figure that because it has less drastic tides then the rest of Nova Scotia it has had less development of minerals. I haven't came across any volcanic activity or much volcanic rocks either.
Along the bay of fund for a prospector is an amazing place. There are amazing crystal formations, I've found 5 different types of geodes, many types of mineral crystal formations such as sulfur crystals and amethysts. The tides are the highest in the world make the landscape change every single time you go there,lending to great discoveries.
On the Atlantic coast and inland 20 to 30 kilometers has been my best discoveries of gold and historically has been where Nova Scotia's gold rushes have taken place. Over the last couple years old and new mines have been opening all over the side of Nova Scotia.
Recently a geologist has a prediction and discovery of rubies in Cape Breton. I believe this is part of the ruby belt that comes down from Greenland.
