I'm no expert on gold, but that looks like iron pyrite to me.
 
Try the "streak test".......slide one or two of the prominent grains over a piece of unfinished white porcelain. If they leave black streaks, it's iron pyrite............
 
Looks like pyrite. Just take a knife or something and see if you can flake some off.

Better yet crush it and pan it.
