I have poked around a bit there and never found a big enough bit of gold that could set off a metal detector. If you see white 'quartz-like' flakes in the bottom of your pan next to the black sands and it is hard to wash out, you have found a boron mineral ore which has a high in specific gravity.
@@GirlintheGarageDotStore I was wrong in calling the stuff boron it was in fact Barite an ore of Barium. Limited amount was minined there some time ago, it is not particulaly valueable. See following for what it may look like: th-cam.com/video/AGd8NOrQ0zw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xeVQuQWM4oCK7M2d The whole area has already been ground sluiced but they did a poor job and missed a lot of the very fine gold. According to a descendant of the original mining operation this was because many of the workers were being paid wages (sounds like poor management to me).
