Where'd the gold come from? [spoilers]

So unless you're not caught up at least with the naruto anime

Spoiler

Up through the 4th shinobi war arch at least, you know that gaara fights against the edo tensei version of his father. His fathers special ability was the magnet release just like the 3rd kazekage.

Kishi did a pretty good job of explaining how he used gold dust to subdue the Shukaku because the gold was denser than sand. There was even a background behind where he would have gotten this sand from. The hidden sand village was only able to keep their village afloat economically through the trade of gold sand.

Thats all very well and good and we can assume that he had a stache of gold sand handy for emergencies or whatever. What i do not understand is, how was he able to create gold sand out of nowhere in the latest episodes of the anime. If he had been summoned with a gourd full of gold on his back (much like gaara) just like other edo's had their weapons when they were summoned, i'd understand that, but he just pulls it out of the ground.

i may not be a geologist, but i'm like 99% sure that gold is not a typical component of desert sand. Even if there were minute traces, there certainly wouldn't be enough to make a giant wave of it. Am i missing something, or did kishi just overlook this?

What do you guys think? p.s, i'm about due for a hottest thread ;P

Doesn't his Dad keep it somewhere like Gaara does? I mean, like some kind of compartment?

Nah, he pulls it out of the ground. Somehow

Too bad Gaara didn't follow up with the 2nd kazekage's metal sand.. maybe combining it with gold sand..would be kewl.

I think he might actually just summon the Gold Dust due to his Kekkei Genkai, when you have Magnet Release you can actually release Gold Dust. But honestly, I'm not sure. :|

In his underwear.

If the land of sand only true income is gold sand and its denser than reg sand i would assume the gold sands are lying under the deserts normal sand

if you fight gaara's dad, You will be incredibly rich for the rest of your life.

i see 2 possibilities:
1: he summoned it like other shinobi (Tenten, 7 swordsman etc) summon their weapons

2: kabuto provided him with the weapon he used while alive, like he did with the 7 swordsman, and he had his sakin travel underground with him using the magnet release
