Went and did some sampling for gold in the black sand at Lake Michigan. Yes.....there was GOLD in the black sand. Will be heading back to this spot with a gold cube to work it. Brought some black sand home to play with.
I read the comments after watching the video. As you said, the beaches are always changing and what was there one day can be gone the next. I occasionally find gold in the black sand on Lake Michigan and Huron beaches. But its hit and miss. And always very fine. Sure is fun to find it tho.
Hi Matt, That was Lake Michigan. I don't give out the specific locations of where I prospect. I found this spot the day before I filmed this video. We had went to the Lake Michigan and were walking the shoreline looking for stones when I noticed the black sand. Gold has been found in 83 counties in Michigan. Find a creek/river with gravel/rocks in it and you will find some gold. SS
Silver Sleuth OLD stuff then. Better size specks than the stuff just washed up with the new high levels then I’m guessing. I can’t pan that stuff for nothing. It just sits there in the corner of my pan stubborn as hell. I can see the super small grains of gold occasionally breaking free and tumbling down with the garnet. A miller table is high on my list.
I am from Michigan and seem to be from the same area as you are and I am new to looking for gold. Do you find that black sand tends to hold gold here? Do you have any tips on finding rocky areas or just kinda walking around finding places?
@Lauren Deur black sand is a common place to find gold. Most of the creeks, rivers and streams have rocky areas/stretches that will have some gold in it. It will be small(flour size). There are a few places in Michigan where people find bigger pieces. Those spots are usually not talked about. I started a discussion forum website for people to interact with me and others.
