Black sand ledge

[chevyman75]

I know of a spot that is like pure black sand. It is about 20 yards X 100+ yards. It is an area that was strip mined yrs ago would this be worth panning out or hitting with a metal detector? Been trying to Pan throughout last few yrs with no luck finding anything.. trying to get help where can... P's: this area just dawned on me forgot about it

If this was an old coal mining pit, these mounds could be coal mining waste dumps where the operator bulldozed waste off to sides of operations. The ultra-fine grain structure of what you are describing (and non-magnet property) that forms a sludge-like consistency when mixed with water also supports this theory. My best guess...

It's not mounds it's a level shelf of it over 12" deep
