Any expert prospectors here able to explain this weird pocket of gold I'm finding? I'm finding up to 0.2 grams per 5 gallon bucket of gravel here and the nice thing is the gold is mostly pickers, not just tiny micron-sized gold or flakes. But the weird thing is there's hardly any black sand, only this much black sand out of an entire 5 gallon bucket. What does this mean? I thought the more black sand there is, the more gold. It's coming from a creek in California near Yosemite I found.
