The word Alluvial describes a type of soil. It can be made up of sand, silt, clay, gravel, or other matter deposited by flowing water.
The term "Alluvial Gold" specifically refers to gold dust found in that type of soil. When riverbed soil is scooped up and panned for gold dust, that ist alluvial gold.
