I have a place in Alabama probably near where that dirt came from, Goldville and Hog mtn. south of Gragford, Cragford is promoting a gold camp and may be selling dirt.
I panned and higbanked in several locations, never struck it rich, didn't find a lot of gold but I had fun if that counts. You get gold fever, getting rich is not the priority.
Hope you have fun and find gold too, Gnewt

If he got the dirt from The areas I mentioned it will probably contain a lot of pyrite, silica, and graphite. There is some fine gold in the area and high grade.
I have an old early 1800 map that shows where gold was being found then. The prospectors pulled out for California for the 49 rush and left a lot of gold, the last company was there in 1984 and closed in 1988 because the stamp mill could not make it pay. They were mining a mile east of my place.
All of my prospecting equipment is stored till April and I plan a trip to Bradshaw/ First Water area of Arizona the last week of April. Gnewt
