Is this really, REAL GOLD!?

After cleaning out an illegal ground sluice left behind by the old timers. I ended up with a bunch of material that confused me, it was yellow, heavy like gold, washed out with the gold, but something did not look right. Id did not have the shine of gold, it was dull and coated in something. So in this video I test this substance in many ways to determine if it was actually gold or something else altogether.

"Gold alloyed with a small percentage of lead is a hard, brittle, pale-yellow substance, which has a musical ring. If more than about 4 per cent, of lead is present, there is marked segregation on solidification, and this also takes place in the case of the zinc alloy and of some others." from a google search

@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756 2 года назад

It looks to me like the lead was an intrusive deposit in a quartz amalgamate. Like the gold your finding it was broken free from hydro dynamics basically a lead/ silver deposit. So you not only have gold in them thar hills. Ya got lead too! The colorization did come from the sluice, the iron oxides leaching out during run off and the exposure to oxygen when the levels dropped would definitely cause colorization like that. As for the gold, two possible answers, inclusive in the deposit or it was hammered into the lead by the water forcing small rocks to force it into the lead. No matter what you had an opportunity to experiment with metals deposited together then changed by the environment and elements. That's always cool! Thanks for not only taking us on an AU candy hunt but posing an interesting question. Perhaps next time try to smelt for silver and see what happens. The gold will drop out in either case but with the lower temperatures the separation will retain the base metals in their weights what a button that would be! Thanks Dan!👍⛏️

Dan, its it possible there you've got some amounts of Uranium ore - "Yellow Cake" - the color. the weight, etc seems possible. SC

@aSinisterKiid 2 года назад

You won't typically find "yellow cake" out naturally on the planet. That form of Uranium is typically only created during an intermediary step in processing uranium ore. Yellowcake concentrates are prepared by various extraction and refining methods, depending on the types of ores. Typically, yellowcakes are obtained through the milling and chemical processing of uranium ore forming a coarse powder. And although uranium is one of the densest metals on Earth, yellowcake is relatively light, with a density approximately that of elemental sulfur. So in that incredibly rare chance that you ever did come across a natural yellowcake formation, you wouldn't find it through panning for gold because it would wash out.
