Find gold near you. See known gold occurrences, what's
already claimed (red), and our Gold Favorability heat layer — where gold
should be, modeled from 300k+ federal records + the geology. Free at wide zooms;
the prospecting-zoom detail, the ground reads and the layers are member ground.
The complete read. The Gold Favorability layer runs at
every zoom. Click a gold dot to light its drainage — or click ANY ground
(zoomed in) for a read of that exact spot: our model's take, the creeks below it, the
rock story, who owns it.
Gold Favorability — our model: cold → hot. Heat = terrain that looks like where gold was found; validated province claims show in the ground read.
past/active producer — pulled metal
occurrence / prospect — known showing
Map key — claims, land & geology
active placer claim (BLM) — already taken
active lode claim (BLM) — hard-rock, already taken
private / unknown ground (zoom in) — need permission
/ land tint: BLM / National Forest — public
streams (NHD) — the placer carriers
Geology drape (Macrostrat) — by geologic age (younger → older):
Quaternary
Neogene
Paleogene
Cretaceous
Jurassic
Triassic
Permian
Carbonif.
Devonian
Silurian
Ordovician
Cambrian
Proterozoic
Archean

Favorability: Goldfindr's own model — a statistical read of the terrain,
not a promise of gold. Occurrences: USGS MRDS (live). Claims: BLM (live). Streams: USGS NHD. Geology: Macrostrat. Drainage:
USGS NLDI. Data lags + is approximate — verify with BLM before you dig.
