Gold is never lighter or the same weight as sand, gold no matter how small will have a density very much heavier. Pure gold has a density of 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter. Placer gold density can range from 15 to 19 grams per cubic centimeter. Blac sand hematite or magnetite is around 5g!cm3. "ead has a density of 11.3 g!cm3
#t sounds li e you have gotten rich on fools gold, pyrite. Pyrite has a density of around $ to 5grams per cubic centimeter.
%y suggestion get some BB si&e pieces of lead, put them in the your gold pan, say three of them, now add your sand gravel roc s mud and your gold, pan this off, when you get to the bottom you will see your lead and gold in the blac sand, pan off the blac sand you will be left with three pieces of lead and your gold, practice this into a big tub of water 'ust incase you are not s illed in the art of panning this way you will not loose your lead, if your gold pans off before your lead it is not gold it is 'ust pyrite fools gold. (ery seldom will fine gold float, clean your pan of oils, a drop of dish soap to your water will help if this very rare problem occurs, gold is normally too heavy to float, pyrite will float out of your pan very easily. %ost all new miners get rich on fools gold before they learn what real gold is, once they learn they can easily tell the difference, and these miners pay no attention to dumping that yellow gold loo ing material out of their pan bac into the river, they only want what is left in there pan after everything else lighter than lead is dumped out of the pan.
"oo at the bottom of the diagram where it says )*on+%agnetic ,ischarge). -he non+magnetics are discharged at the bottom. .ere is a photo of another magnetic separator and the lin to the site. #t has *5/ neodymium magnets inside one of the conveyor rollers. -he blac sands are carried up and onto the conveyor.

often associated with gold when panning. -he host roc for agate is usually basalt which contains magnetite and hematite but the source of the magnetite associated with gold is different and the magnetite from basalt will most li ely not have any association with gold
-he red mud is left over from filtering some recovered 0u from blac sand. # do not have any stannous chloride. 0nyone have an idea what the red mud is< # first roasted the blac sand, then leached with .=" to remove the iron, the sand was then introduced to 0> then heated. -his mud insoluble in hot 0> showed up on filtering the 0u.
