It would float because the density of the fishing bobber is less dense than the quicksand.
+
The human body has a density of 62.4 pounds per cubic foot (1 g/cm3) and is able to float on water. Quicksand is denser than water -- it has a density of about 125 pounds per cubic foot (2 g/cm3) -- which means you can float more easily on quicksand than on water. The key is to not panic. Most people who drown in quicksand, or any liquid for that matter, are usually those who panic and begin flailing their arms and legs.

Sink..the sand pulls it down...if a person can't tred sand, then that bobber is going down!!! Sand is not water...if you bury a bobber in sand, does it return to the surface?? Noooooo..It gets sucked down

itwouldn't float or sink it would just sit on top of it becuase bobbers are all but weightless.

It would float because it is naturally bouyant. People are not.
