I was wondering if the presence of magnetic black sand is an indicator of possible gold presence or if it is just an indicator of proper panning procedure. I am quite new at this and really need help. I have found a sandy stream with exposed bedrock. There is a HUGE amount of magnetic black sand in this stream. I haven't had the chance to go back there since taking the small sample due to the excessive rainfall in the area. I live about an hour south of Atlanta and have never heard of anyone finding anything here so I don't know if it is even worth looking. Also, what should I put in my panning backpack? I have 2 goldpans, hand shovels and picks, magnets, vials, and gallon zipperbags for taking concentrates back with me. Am I forgetting anything?
thank you very much for your help
