Hey everyone! I could really use some help. I live in Northeast Georgia on about 500 acres of land. Over the past year or so my fiancé have been learning more and more about prospecting, gems, minerals, and of course gold. We really don’t know very much and have just been learning and explore in our free time. Anyways, we have a rock bottom small creek. We have what I call an underground river. It was a hole I happened to make because it was very soft ground and felt like if I jumped hard enough It would open. So I had to dig and find out more. Now I have a good sized hole which actually had water that flows under a tree and out to our creek area. So I have been digging in this whole and recent have been pulling up sand that appears to me to be half sand and half flour gold. What I wonder is, it is possible that this gold looking sand could be flour gold? And if so it seems to be a lot. How or who would I contact that I could send a sample of this sand to who would be able to let me know if this is gold in the sand? I have found some rocks that I believe have gold. Like I said I new to all this and hoping someone could help me identify this sand and maybe look at some of the rocks i have and let me know if I am on the right track of identity the rocks. Also, I did buy a gold tester kit with the different acids but that didn’t work out well for me. I ended up getting less than a drop on my skin and insisted on calling poison control. I was fine totally over reacted. After my fiancé laughed at me for calling poison control over a drop of acid on my finger, I decided it was probably best not to play with the acid anymore. If someone has time to help it would be very much appreciated! Thanks so much!
