Anyone know if this is gold dust?

[cedars]

Question for the pros:

I live in an area that does have old gold mines not too far away. I found some dense clay speckled with this gold stuff. I dissolved the clay as best I could and rinsed it out until I got down to this mix. It's still a mix of gold-looking dust and some light-colored and dark-colored sand. This photo is of the mix in a cup of water on top of a brass plate and next to my gold wedding band, for perspective. I took the photo on a cloudy day with reflected light from a nearby window.

Any thoughts?

Welcome, i'd guess there is some gold in it. Try taking a piece and flattening it. If it flattens, its gold, if it shatters, its mica.

Hopefully it is...

Google how a gold pan works and grab a cake pan and see for yourself.
