Where to find Gold ore?

[MediumRareBear]

I'm having trouble finding gold ore. I'm under the iron level. What level is gold ore found on?

[Jacob]

Are you also under the snow?

[MediumRareBear]

No I’m under a temperate biome

In the latest versions of the game, gold can only be found in the mountains under the snowcap.

Oh okay, how far down usually is gold?

a couple blocks below iron

This does not apply to every snowy mountain. It has to be quite large mountain doesnt it? I tried a bit smaller one with the snowed cap and it had no gold in it.

Not sure, if the snowcap is small there will only be a few patches to be mined.
You have to digg right under the snowcap, and with a small snowcap and a few patches, you can mis those pathes quit easy.

In my current session I dig the gold under a mountainridge that has a snowcap about 30 blocks wide at the bottom of the cap.
It has several patches to mine on. But sometimes you have to work on multiple levels (in my case up to 3 or 4 blocks high) to get enough patches to place miners on.

What I experience is that there is a vertical section centered under the snowcap that contains the gold. You can access it from the top, digging down, but also from the side, digging in a straight line.
