Working Schist-Gold panning in Arizona

[wildirishman21]

Uh oh! Look out for that schist, I hate stepping on that stuff.

if theres black sand will there most likely be gold?

[Propanner]

@paidskn1488 Not always. Black sand does confirm that there is gold in a stream.

I hope the guy that went through there before you see this.

Looked like a good day

[HankBurns]

Nice piece. Jason sounds a little discouraged. Hope you hit something big!

[elgreba]

Is that 'black sand' only iron, or is there any silver in it ?

[Propanner]

@Roddyoneeye It's pretty much magnetite, could be silver in there but the area is not known for silver.

[Propanner]

@Roddyoneeye There really shiny pieces of black sand are actually pieces of galena which is natural lead.
