English term or phrase: all mixed together indiscriminately, dust, small pieces
The process of melting it into ingots preparatory to its being sent to the mint at Petersburg, is simple enough. Each proprietor brings his gold in bags sealed up, all mixed together indiscriminately, dust, small pieces, and sometimes masses weighing several pounds. These are put into the scales in the presence of the chef of the establishment and the proprietor, and then the contents are poured into large iron pots with a slight mixture of clay in them, made red-hot, previously, in the furnace.

Explanation:
Под "песком" подразумевается золотой песок, естественно. Слово "малые" - стилизация под старину. "Осколки" - осколки золотой руды.
