Alluvial Gold: This is the gold that is deposited through the movement of water. Generally speaking, large deposits of gold are part of the Earth and were put in place many millions of years ago. Over time, these gold deposits were exposed to erosion that led to them being broken up and washed downstream in rivers, creeks and the like. Because gold is far heavier than typical rocks or gravel, it settled in small amounts spread out down the water flow.
