I've always had good luck with cons from Randy Witham. Usually more than the amount you pay for. Randy is a straight up honest guy.

Gold hog will be stopping their pay dirt bags soon. I would pick up one or two. They are true paydirt bags, salted with gems but not gold, just dredge concentrates. Great practice and a good return on the money.

I'm expecting a delivery for the holidays from Eureka Gold Sands .. will let folks know. Gino claims to be one of the original online paydirt companies that started it all, so we shall see how I do. I'm expecting about a 50% return to be honest tho. Nobody is going to sell paydirt to lose money. That'd just be crazy.

I have purchased a fair amount of paydirt over the last few years.
My favorites are Dirt Hogg and Goldstrike Adventures.
I also like Crisson a lot and have seen their stamp mill in operation here in Georgia.
I know the owners of these three operations and have a good relationship with them. I trust them to provide a good value for my money.
In my experience, every bag of paydirt is different, and yields will vary from bag to bag, even from the same source.
Dirt Hogg offers "Bonus" bags which completely skew the "value" equation, but one thing is certain, anyone thinking they are going to consistently get an amount of gold that is worth more than what they paid for, is mistaken.
That being said, if I got a one ounce nugget from a paydirt seller, I would probably keep buying from that supplier for a long time, hoping to get more...
Regardless, I learn a lot about the characteristics of gold and different kinds of paydirt by purchasing paydirt from different suppliers...it's all part of become a better gold miner.

I'm not sure where the nuggets came from in the 325.00 nugget bucket, but they are definitely added. They have a 165 bucket without the nuggets that is just 75 gallons of the crushed hardrock material processed and concentrated to 1 gallon. My guess is the use the same 165 (75gal material cons) and add a few grams worth of nuggets. I definitely didn't hit the jackpot like others I had heard, but I loved panning the material, very little black sands, mostly blond (crushed rock), so it panned very easily and quickly.

How was your 4lb bucket from Felix. I purchased one and was not happy with what I got. I got more from their 2lb bonanza bag.

Easily my favorite two places to get pay dirt:
IPAN4GOLD.com
&
Crissongoldmine.com
Both in Georgia and both owned and operated by great people!

Cool Ed, are those hard rock nuggets? They look like Placer nuggets. I Thought the Crisson bucket of crushed ore would be 50 or 100 mesh Gold? When I hard rock sample, I always crush the ore to tiny 50 mesh Gold, then Bluebowl it all. |

The Crisson Gold Mine $325 nugget bucket ended up with a total of 4.397 grams of gold with one of the nuggets over 1gram. Either way was a ton of fun to pan out. Win some , lose some.

That's cool Ed, I might try them. That $325 bucket sounds like fun also. Have you been to Italian Bar with your LDMA? I might try that, I never used the '3 day pass' but we prospected the public GPAA areas next to the camp. It was awesome. |

Mary .. I 100% recommend Jimbo's Gold in Arizona, you will be SO SO pleased.  I think the Gizmo bag was a standard 1lb size, and mine contained maybe a dozen tiny (1/8" and less) polished peridot. I read somebody else got peridot with theirs. About same results as Brad's above. Nice gold. Their gold/black reserve bags were good as well, but contain extreme black sand, so panning takes time. Not much fly poop or under -100 mesh. Pretty consistant flakes besides the occasional pickers. Also, I just started panning my $325 nugget (1gal paint can of concentrates + nuggets) from Crisson Gold Mine I picked when were at the Loud Mine Outing in September, and loving it .. tons of .2 to .6 gram size nuggets along with flakes in every pan (doing about 1/4" cup at a time). It's expensive for sure, but easy blond sand (it's crushed ore from their mine) to pan, and every time I pull a nugget out of the pan, I just giggle and jump for joy. Even if I don't recover $325 in gold, I'm getting way more in joy and fun. I bought it for my 50th birthday gift to myself (in addition to everything else I bought this year including my LDMA membership). I hope to post results somewhere when I finish the entire can. They have an online store too at: http://www.crissongoldmin...m/gold-concentrates/ Ed |

Adam has the best advice,but I've bought 12 times and found out that the different pay dirt took different ways to extract the gold & the gold seemed different also. I could have just poured the gold back in for practice,but the gambler in me really likes seeing the different types of gold and I've gotten 6 nuggets. One 2.6 gram & several pickers & flour. I'm in the Felix 4 lb jackpot bucket now & one of them has a 50 gram nugget in it .That would make it all worth while. I'm as green as they come.In Texas looking forward to experiencing the whole picture and maybe becoming an old salt one day. |

Honestly, just buy a gram of Gold from a top seller on E-bay, dump it in a pan with your local gravel, pan it out & avoid paying an extra $20 for nothing. I only bought pay dirt when they advertised a big nugget in every tenth bag or whatever. But the gamble never pays off...For me anyway. |
