Not in calif but---
Look around for closed/abandon foundries--big or small
Over the years we have had 2 big foundries close.
would sometimes go exploring to see what we could see.
The casting sand was in piles.
Could have hauled off all I could carry!
It was yellowish and stickey.
Do not know if it was usable or not.
My guess is that it is graded sand with something added.
Dont realy know!
Good luck

Getting ready to cast D2 throw-out collars😮 😮
Ole-Magnet,
I had not thought of going there but appears there could be an opportunity in a market for somebody.
Actually I was looking at casting some plackards and other small items. I am not actually doing anything in brass.

What do you want to cast? Foundry sand is not just foundry sand. Takes "Green Sand" for iron, different for nonferrous.
