Is This Gold? (Silver-Quartz w Possible Gold?)

[treasurewell]

I'm sorry if this kind of post has been made before. But I found this silver-quartz ore in the mountains and a retired prospector told me that the yellow is most likely gold. I found it on a convergence with lots of quartz and schist in the surrounding area, in an area with a bit of history- which makes me think there is a possibility that it might actually be gold.

My question is, does it look like gold to you guys? I am VERY new to this; It stays yellow regardless of the sun/shade and isn't brittle or flakey.

And if you think it's something else, or have any tips for telling the difference better in the future please let me know!

get a piece of quarry tile and scratch it on the unglazed side of that tile and if it is gold there will be a golden streak left... if it is not gold (mica, etc) there will be a black streak.
