The earth vibrates, every time a tectonic plate shifts or an earth quake or volcano makes its presence known the earth reacts.
Have you ever stood on a beach rapidly changing your weight from one foot to the another the sand soon becomes fluid if you kept it up you would be soon be down to your knees.
It is through these earth vibrations that cause the heavier metals find their way down to bedrock.
Another well documented fact the gold deposits along the west coast are predominantly north to south the tectonic plates pushed up from beneath the ocean travelled from west to east creating the various mountain ranges running north to south . Over the eons mother nature with her various forms of erosion liberate the precious metals within the plates.
If your able to read the mountain sides and rocks you could very well become a wealthy hard rock miner as not all the metals of value have yet been liberated.
I have one question to which I'll never receive an answer to, this is a generalisation of my thoughts form the time our earth was born the tectonic plates and other forces such as volcanic have all made their precious metals deposits in what we see locally as mountain ranges. A great majority of the metals from these ranges have been ground to a pulp, the pulp finds its way back to the ocean to settle in the lower reaches covered with silt and other debris until enough weight has been applied to create a new tectonic plate.
How many times have these metals been recycled, if civilization ceased to exist eventually everything would end up in the oceans to be recycled.
The only unrecoverable material man has created is all the space garbage which is mostly metal upon re-entering earth’s atmosphere is burned up.Perhaps not lost forever the gas's from combustion will perhaps travel to far off places to create a new sun or star.
