The UK has more fold than we are led to believe. In saying that, we have had thousands of years of life compared to America and Canada. And the past generation took much before and used it. In Northern Ireland there is a large deposit in the sperrin mountains. Apparently that's already been paid for by some company to take out 1/2 billion in sterling. Wales is still known for the rare gold, which is only rare if you make people think that. Look at the old artefacts in Ireland, mainland UK. There is gold, but our greedy civil servants who run the country. Have sold it all off, like labour under Blair did.

Totally agree, gold is also worthless but rarity and man hours is what gives it its value. Theres no way the old timers got it all, plus some spots actually replenish themselves over time.

I truly didn't know there was gold in the UK. I'm British diaspora, like 2/3rds of your entire peoples I am trapped abroad. I'd love to return to my ancestral homeland - they lied to our fathers and grandfathers, told them they had too many workers, told them to do their duty and go shore up the colonies after the war at the same time they were telling foreigners "Come save Britain, we need workers!" and gave both subsidised travel, displacing millions of indigenous Britons replacing them with millions of migrants - our fathers and grandfathers married British colonists daughters and with a few deaths without chain of succession for passports poof you have 2/3rds of your people trapped abroad. This is why I know the whole "BrItAIn nEeDs mIgRaNtS" because if you did you'd just let us come home. It's not about needing anything, it's about genociding the indigenous European peoples in their ancestral homelands with displacement migration. It's infuriating. You don't know how lucky you are. Please, PLEASE, appreciate and enjoy every single leaf, and every day you get to live in that beautiful land. You may well be one of the last generations of indigenous Europeans to enjoy her. So on behalf of all of those many millions of us trapped abroad with no future, who just aren't breeding because we are facing an existential genocide right here too; love that land as she deserves to be loved, and fight for her tooth and nail.

Very impressed with that. If I was in Scotland I'd be trying my hand at that. My local rivers are the River Irwell in Manchester City Centre, and at my Dad's house, there's the River Sett which drains from Kinder Scout but that's Millstone grit. I think there's some lead in the white Peak near Matlock and Castleton. And I'm guessing there might be microdots of silver or gold in amongst the lead but I doubt there are any flakes. I think a good place to find gold might be in the melt from ice-caps near glaciers? Or do you think that's too violent i.e., melt water might carry away the gold. There are tarns and ancient glaciers in North Wales. Must be similar in Scotland. Probably talking complete rubbish.

Hey, thanks for your comment. I’m fairly new to this but you’re not far off. Glaciers would’ve plucked the gold from the mountains grinding it down as it moves, the depositing it and grinding it again when retreating. From my experience areas with good mixed gravels and mineralised quartz and behind big boulders would be what to look out for.
