Looks like garnet or amethyst/smokey. What area was it found in? You don't have to say the exact location, just the area so we know what minerals are found there.

Skunk Hollow gravel bar on the south fork American River above Folsom lake 3 ft down with the falcon md20 it beeps a metal on one end and beeps every where else as black sand when pulling away with unit. Very magnetic.
