Good luck! Are you the Austrian prospector who has been having luck in your nearby river? I've been inspired by this "flour gold wizards" channel, dude is in Wisconsin so everything he gets is glacial gold yet he still manages to make it a productive hobby, up to 1/3-1/2g per trip isn't a whole lot but it's still better than I've ever done. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YpuPxWVXc8A
I've read of short-lived but profitable placer mining operations in areas with no native gold where they were just mining the glacial stuff from concentrated black sand layers, the idea of getting a vial of glacial gold really appeals to me. A fella in Indiana suction dredges creeks and has actually found nuggets up to around 3 grams which is enormous for glacial gold. I went prospecting for it and found some colors deposited behind rocks by eddy currents but have my eye on a hardpan bottom depression in that creekbed which has been there for years (I hunt the creek for fossils) where I think heavier stuff might have fallen out and been trapped. Gotta pry out some of the cobbles with a rock pick, they're wedged in good almost like puzzle pieces. Won't get rich or anything but I'd be happy if I found a piece big enough to feel by touch, or some more green glacial float copper nuggets which I think are beautiful.
