So I've been prospecting all week and this is what I've been finding. I don't think it's gold. It doesn't really behave like gold. It is mostly malleable. It does not sink all the way to the bottom. Up close it looks like gold with a reddish tint. I'm wondering if it is an 18 karat gold with 25% copper or red gold. That's what my landlord said but I'm not sure about his qualifications.
