Goldn Gold Paydirt Eureka Panning Pay Dirt Bag – Gold Prospecting Concentrate

Bought this as a novelty item to get into panning as I am in a state bearing very little gold and strict waterway laws to boot, so going out and panning where I'm at is kind of pointless. As far as a practice/novelty item it is great! There is indeed gold as well as tiny quartz crystals and a little bit of black sand adds a respectable challenge. my return was just over .1g and still have some superfines I have to retrieve from my tailings and sniffer bottle. Also found 3 bright silvery pieces not sure what they could be, hopefully platinum! (Lower right in pic appear dark) Not a great ROI but you dont invest in paydirt, you invest in straight bullion or placer. This is for the fun and should be treated as such going in, or you'll just be disappointed when you dont see much gold and that is paydirt in a whole. There are also lots of superfine particles that will float or suspend in the water, so keep you're eyes peeled before you just dump or ditch your tailings and water. I'd say for beginners with a keen eye, patience, and a pretty basic understanding of panning due to the amount of superfines compared to pieces easily seen and able to be picked out with tweezers. People with poor eyesight or (in my case) an impatient nephew might want to get the bigger bag with more "pickers" I'd say. Overall had a blast panning and do recommend for anyone getting into panning.

Well I just opened 5 1/2 lb. little bags. I have had decent results two months ago with a first purchase. However tonight with very careful inspection, run thru sluice 3 times and with ea. Bag I expected a little. But only one bag had a picker and two bags had a tiny tiny amt of flour. This experience is going to shut down my endeavor of buying gold paydirt. Tonight, my emotions will interfere with my choice of words. It was not an insignificant amount of money spent. I have now opened ten vendors paydirt. Several were $100+ and six were smaller bags, all different. Your claims and reviews suggest a good experience. Sadly that wasn’t even close. I consider myself to be good on finding gold in the use of panning gold. What happened? I received 5 bags, expecting one to hold 3x normal as claimed in your advertising. I spent two hours and ran it thru my sluice three time. One tablespoon at a time. I can’t even take a picture because there’s so little to see in my sniffer bottle. Quite frankly, I wondered if you have an unhappy employee whose creativity snags some gold destined for customers. Your reviews are solid. I have purchased over 26 bags from 8 vendors. Two of them had nothing. I made sure I complimented those products who at least allowed a little yellow gold bits. But 5 bags of dirt and only one who could be tiny flakes and one picker found with tweezers, and then sent thru my 4 foot sluice 3 times to zilch.

I've purchased multiple items through them via Amazon, Ebay and through their website. The only thing I will say is that they are consistent in the about of gold you get. No matter if you buy the $25 bag or the $50 dollar bag it seems to have about the same amount of gold to me. I've stopped buying from them because they falsely advertise their product. I gave it a 3 star because it was fun and I did find gold each time. Also, just a note, if you're looking to strike it rich no gold paydirt I've gotten so far from any seller is going to make you money. Should be used as hobby or practice only.

Fun little experience, You will not earn your money back most likely but still, it's worth it's weight in entertainment and a good way to scratch that itch until it's warm enough to do some prospecting. For the quantity that's shipped to you I'd consider it pretty rich in gold.

First off, I am a beginner at panning. I have tried my hand in streams in known gold country with no success. Was it the concentrate or was it the panner? I bought the bag of paydirt as a calibration tool for me. The order was processed very timely. I watched more videos on panning to get the technique down better, then it was time to add the paydirt to my pan. I decided to split the bag roughly into 4 quarters. I panned the first quarter with extreme excitement as the sand washed away. The paydirt was pretty clean compared to the SC river dirt I had been looking in. It was free of fines rapidly. There was enough black sand to give that experience, but not so much that a magnet was needed. as I swirled the final black sands away from the edge, there it was!!! My first gold found with my pan! It was exciting to see. I used a squeeze bottle to capture the gold, then repeated with the next quarter, then the 3rd, then the 4th. Each quarter of the paydirt bag produced from 4 to about a dozen flakes. Some of the flakes were small enough and thin enough to make adding a little soap worthwhile (so I got to experience that technique also). Pictures, if they keep same order from left to right are Final Clean up, 1st pan, 2nd pan, 3rd pan and 4th pan. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with the product. It delivered exactly what I was hoping for. Will you get rich in monetary value form this? Absolutely not. Will you get a rich experience of seeing gold separated from common dirt by your own hand and water? Absolutely. In my opinion an excellent value for the money.
