Drag a magnet through the black sand in your pan and it jumps. Drag it through the gold and nothing moves. That one difference is a test you can run at your kitchen table in five minutes, and most beginners never try it. In this video I cover what black sand is and why it settles where gold settles. We look at magnetite and ilmenite, and how heavy gold is next to them. I show what a magnet pulls out of your pan and what it leaves behind. I also warn you about a shiny yellow mineral that does leap to a magnet and has fooled plenty of people. The old-timers always said black sand is a clue, not a promise, so I explain how to read it. Legal first. Check the permit or licence for your state, ask the landholder, take water and a mate, and stay away from old shafts.
