The area is very big, but very difficult to access. I would like to know if blue clay always has silver or not.

Blue clay deposits in the Western US can be indications of gold, silver, and diamonds.

I didn't see gold but I saw a very small pieces of white metal, I think that's silver. The only problem is that I have no experience
with silver. I put it in the pan but it get out when panning, it didn't sink like the gold. Any thoughts will be appreciated. Thank you

They might be. But they might be something else, like mica in your area. Until I see a photo, still very difficult to tell.

Many brands, Magnetometer, GPR, Side Scan, etc.
In 1720-21 the Spanish expedition in central Texas led by the Marquis de Aguayo reported several deposits of "Amalgre" very simliar to the deposits in Mexico that produced a lot of silver. However these deposits were devoit of silver. The single deposit that supposedly held silver, later became known as the famous "San Saba" mine. I've personally seen and taken samples from several of these "blue and green" deposits. No Silver or diamonds!!
