This is probably not a question for this board (try the Research Board), but yes, placer gold tends to be on or just above bedrock. And, usually not too far from the source. You don't core sample for placers, you take large bulk samples from pits or trenches if possible, or you can drill but drilling has its problems because coarse gold is tricky to recover.
