The specific gravity of sand is between 90-130 lbs/cubic foot.

5 US gallons = 0.668402778 cubic feet

90 * 0.66840277 = 60.15625002

130 * 0.668402778 = 86.89236114

So, a 5 gallon bucket will hold between 60 and 87 pounds of sand, depending on how much liquid is in the sand and if it is packed down.
