I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right section. I have made a few post about digging around this massive quartz rock/vein. But back to the beginning of what sparked my interest in gold. There is a hand dug well on my property. It was dug around 60 years ago by my great uncle I think. The hole in the ground is about 6' across and about 15' to the water. The water is about 8' deep. There is a well house built around it for safety of course, but I was told by my father and 2 uncles that 2 gold nuggets was found while digging this well( about the size of a pinky finger nail.) I'm not sure if they actually looked for gold while digging or just happened to find them. Also not sure of the depth they found them. My father and uncles was too young to know the information, all they know is they did find them. I recently had my brother in law to lower me in this well to explore a bit. There is a layer of red clay about 5-6' in depth, the it changes to this very hard whitish grey clay, not sure what is below the water line. My question is, why would there be nuggets in this type soil? Should they not be hooked to a host rock?
