Azusa canyon, East fork. Platinum?

[golden sluice]

Well, it's another great day in southern California, 80 + degrees. I decided to go sluicing on the rivers big bend just below the parking lot. The sun god blessed me, however, the gold god said. " Not today." I dug deep in the river behind three large file cabet sized boulders. I pulled up some heavy black sand from behind these half submerged rocks. I slucied through 12 buckets and then called it a day. I panned out my concentrates. I got the normal black sand, and a few black dense BB sized pebbles, and one dense vein-like mystery metal. The gold was minimal and pathetic, but I think the mystery metal I found was...platinum! My question is, does Azusa canyon have platinum?
