Looks more like you're trying to get gold out of jackrabbit poop. Maybe
you ought to stay out of that hot sun for a day or two..

Ya know I'm kidding, of course, but what are we looking at? Is it
little balls of black sand?

My first thought was scat, but it didn't look like it. Give some more pictures so we can examine it further based what we can see.

Is it hard like rock? Can you crush it?

It's just black sand and fine gold that is moist and has clumped into balls.

Hmmm... only thing I have seen even close is some old mercury balls of flour Gold but those are usually right out of the river and not after it's been dried etc... Don't throw it out tho...
