Just to be clear here the sand in those bags is regional. Some states the sand will have small amounts of gold while other states probably wont. Thats why his play sand was so dark. Where I am at play sand is more yellow/brown.

[@cmgeolo]

They also assay the sand to determine if there is an economic amount of gold in it. Gravel pits do the same. Either they got lucky or they made sure there they were lucky.

I got a bag of sand from my local Home Depot, I've found flour to fly poop size pieces, and I've basically just started panning it out

[@kingdarkem]

Black sand actually does have uses. It's a great abrasive for sandblasting. Black sand was also historically a source of iron that when mixed carbon in a ratio of 1-2% by weight was used to smelt steel. Traditional Japanese steel called tamahagane is still made this way in Japan by a very few traditional steel makers. They still use the clay furnaces and it takes days sometimes longer for the artisan to finish making the steel.

[@Wigglewonks]

You must be a hit at parties

[@kingdarkem]

@@Wigglewonks I get invited but I usually dont go... But I get why your being sarcastic. A 5 gallon bucket of black sand when smelted into bloomery steel. How much do you think that would cost? Per kg the cost is 120 dollars. That bucket if dry would weigh about 70 pounds. That bucket of what gold miners consider waste is actually worth about 8400 dollars to the right person. That translates to that bucket being over 4 ounces of gold in worth. Smelted into bloomery steel (tamahagane) the price goes up. A 1500 gram chunk of high grade tamahagane or roughly 3 pound chunk can fetch as much as 3000 dollars once forged. Youd have close to 10 times that in that simple 5 gallon bucket if you could get the good stuff out of it. So that simple bucket could be worth as much as 15 ounces of gold.

[@Wigglewonks]

@@kingdarkem umm, what’s the cost to have someone collect, prepare and ship to the guy who’s going to “smelt into bloomers steel?”

[@kingdarkem]

@@Wigglewonks well a small gold miner saving the black sand should be able to fill the bucket. As for processing into steel you really dont need much. A small backyard foundary will do number of youtube videos on cobbling one for steel together. To add carbon simple charcoal will do....if you got a fireplace sift the ashes. The lumps of charcoal set aside along with some of that ash. The ash makes for a great flux to remove impurities. To get the carbon youd only need a pound of charcoal. Doing it yourself is significantly cheaper then mailing it go be smelted. After initial investment you can get an ROI after a single smelting. Plus the smelting foundary could be used for smelting that gold into ingots. The regular sand can also be used. In the foundary to make glass. Limestone or seashell works great along with fireplace ash. ;) From there the worlds your oyster...i try not to waste stuff if possible. ;)

[@kryptofly]

Bought a couple bags of sand from my local nursery store. It was processed by a quarry in Wisconsin, glacial sand, brought down from up north by ice age glaciers. Nothing special, just play box sand. Left the top of the bag open, and after a few days of wind and rain, I noticed a tiny bright sparkle. Think a few grains of gold, and next to them a group of tiny red-orange crystals gathered in a small valley in the sand. Think they were garnets. The gold was very small, but you would have removed them. (Pickers?). Went back a day later and it looked like a squirrel had been digging in the bag, we have a lot of them digging in the garden. So they were gone. I suspect there is an interesting amount of gold in Wisconsin glacial sand, but it would cost more to process it than it’s worth….

[@Levacque]

Oh wow, all the glacial till from north of the great lakes must have ended up in your state! My family worked/still work as miners in Ontario so I think often about the sheer volume of heavy metals in the granite right at the surface, not to mention the amethyst shops nearly everywhere. Now you've given me something cool to further consider - the exposed Canadian Shield means that all sorts of metal- and gem-heavy dust has been rubbed off and pushed south!

[@markhondaturbo]

I live in West Bend Wisconsin, on 5 acres, my entire yard is glacial sand. I never thought there would be gold in it though

[@Highplainsprospectors]

This works and I live in Kansas! You will likely find some gold if you run enough material. Back in the day you could see where the sand originated. If it was from a gold bearing area you may have more luck.

[@JamesWestAZ]

Dang Pauly, that was really interesting to watch. Honestly would never have even thought about gold in sand. But yeah, it does make sense. Awesome video. Loved it. :)

My son and I always save our black sand. Recently, we purchased a Blue Bowel. You would not believe the extremely fine gold we found in the black sand. What I want to do is purchase sand from Home Depot, first run it though my sluice box and then the Blue Bowel. It might work. Thank you for the fun and informative video.

Well that settles it! I live right behind that exact Home Depot. Going to buy them out of dirt tonight!

[@jasong8377]

I live in Pa, and I picked up a bag of crushed white Landscaping quartz it was crushed to about quarter inch I classified everything I removed everything above 1/8th inch and panned everything and was surprised to find gold however I was amazed to find a .080 tiny picker that was completely crystallized, from forming inside the quartz the bag,cost me 4.00 bucks

[@lizarrrdbeth]

I'm from PA too and find rough garnets in my yard. I have lots of mica with them growing in it. Lots of quartz too. I was thinking of panning some of the dirt to see if anything turns uplll

[@johnp8727]

what quarry dud you get the quaerz from

[@seesthru]

Did this years ago. The big craze was for the sand from Oregon. It had quite a bit of gold in it, relatively speaking. Here in Florida, though, the sand came from local areas, so, all that panning and no gold.

[@wtfwhereami]

I’ve lived in Oregon basically my whole life, and I have a love hate relationship with the sand here on the coast. Love the gold and platinum, hate panning the heavies out.

[@jasonspangler6151]

Nice .39 cents worth of gold for about $49.95 worth of play sand. I'd say a great return, haha!! No, it was fun though.

Hi Pauly, Good haul. At a lot of creeks, I found less while prospecting. Best regards from Germany!

I bought some paydirt and it has some purple quartz inside. My mates dad asked me to help him empty the fish tank in the living room, and I noticed lots of it in the gravel. Maybe it's worth buying some of that to pan too?

[@beckscald3855]

This is the stuff I get super interested by. We know where gold can be found as proved by all the gold rush of the past. Where is the most unlikely place to find gold ?? Home depot sand is an interesting one.

I live on a river in CT and pan every once in a while for fun. While gold would be nice I don't expect to find any. However along with the black sand I get a lot of crushed amethyst and small pieces... It would be nice to find a good sized stone...

Oh my God! I considered commenting about that vampire remark but I instantly squelched the thought and scolded myself for speculating about such a rude thing to do and then BAM 😂! I'm sorry, but that was hilarious! This is the first video I have watched of yours and I have to say it was worth my time! Also this is such an interesting idea! It never would have occurred to me but I always look for gold because I am a Rockhound. Thanks.

[@krisgalusha9820]

I live in Oklahoma and live just north of the Arkansas River and have thought about going to the sand dredge and get sand from the bottom of a pile and see if there is any flood gold in it. Oklahoma has very little gold so to your work for a gram we would get 0.1 grams.

I've heard that some of the Home Depot/Lowes sand from Colorado gets run through a big sluice before it gets on store shelves, apparently it was worth it money-wise from that spot at least. If' I'm wrong blame Ottis Farris Prospecting 🤣
