Did you test the solution with stannous chloride?
Not everything that's yellow is gold.
Because you used AR, any silver that may have been present would NOT appear as metallic silver. It most likely would have been converted to silver chloride, either by the dissolution process, or by being in contact with the resulting solution, assuming you really do have gold.
I'm afraid you're going to have to provide more information before anything of value could come from your question. Testing with stannous chloride, alone, would have yielded the most important thing you hope to learn---that you do or do not have gold.
