Analyzes gold particles in the Duns area, revealing potential local sources and their implications.

To identify and constrain the source of detrital gold particles in the Duns area of Scotland.
Panned gold samples were collected from two sites within the Southern Uplands.
Morphological and microchemical analysis was performed on the gold particles.
Geological modeling was employed to evaluate potential local sources of gold.
Gold particles were found to be larger than those in adjacent areas.
Mineralogical analyses indicated similarity among gold particles across the sites.
Most particles exhibited silver contents typical of an orogenic source, while others indicated a magmatic source.
