Finally identified it as a limonite tube or pipe. Had a pro look at it and he said it's the largest specimen he's ever seen in this area. They pull a lot of bigger specimens out of the UK. Thanks for your help.

Found this in my classifier while panning and don't know what it is. Sticks to magnet so there is some iron in it.

Hard to tell from a picture but to my eyes it looks like some form of pyrite. Check in full and shaded light and if the yellow disappears in shade it is almost guaranteed to not be gold if that is your implied question. If not then good find....gold looks like gold in full and shaded light.

I found this rock on a creek in Central Alabama.
Its 7 inches tall and 4 inches wide at the bottom.
It is pink and sparkles in the light.
It is fairly hard and doesn't flake or chip.

This is where I found it on the rocks.

IMG_20180428_154458.jpg IMG_20180428_154458.jpg found this in the same alluvial fan. I can make it really shiny like chrome if I rub it with metal like the circle on the top. Very soft malleable and very heavy

I totally grasp that but all quartz I have WILL NOT make the Diamond detector go off even a little bit if I have it set to four bars and put it on a piece of quartz turn it every direction it will not hit in the red but I have a pile that does. I know in the synthetic world there are several synthesized minerals that can make it go off, but all of these have been found in nature on their own nowhere near a spot that it could be made synthetically. I've been trying to research whether white topaz or white sapphire can make a diamond detector go off but have no avail to find any information on that
