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.

What a great purchase! I recently came Accra’s a bag of paydirt at a thrift store and since it was so cheap I bought it. The results from that bag was minimal, but it definitely gave me the fever. I bought myself a pan and after I went through that bag I wanted more, so I started to shop around online and I was surprised to see so many options. After reading reviews and being indecisive I chose to purchase a bag of Goldn item: “Eureka.” As soon as I got the bag I started panning and in my first shot I was amazed from what I found. There was a nice very small nugget and gold pieces at the bottom. I didn’t receive a “motherlode” bag, but I was in no way disappointed. In fact, I was very happy with the amount of gold I found and I can’t wait to do it again. It is also a great form of meditation for me and a way to help me practice patients. These bags of paydirt would also be great to educate children with and it’s a fun activity that has a lot of history behind it. Love this company and what they delivered!

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.

Haven't found anything worth jumping over. Great quality though!

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.

Pretty bad. I'd say bottom of the pile as far as paydirt goes. I mean, it's easy to pan, and there was gold, its alot smaller than what the picture appears. Just a little bag of sand and gravel with some gold flakes in it. The thing is, I'm sure they know out of all the paydirts, they add the least amount of gold, but I assume they're fine with that, they flood the market, and try and get every person to buy as much as they can get you to buy before you get to sample it and write them off. I bought some here on Amazon, and so I went to their own website because I assumed it would be cheaper, bought some more there, it's all kind of deals like buy 1 get 3 free. So I end up with a $150 order, but after checking out they throw more deals at you, I add another $70 at checkout because I got a nice Christmas bonus. Then they just kept pounding me with offers one after the other, I got burnt out of having to decline offers before I was finally allowed to leave the site. Immediately my email starts getting spammed with more offers, like 5 or six every day.... to this day. A few days after ordering from the website, my 3 bags i ordered off amazon from them came in,in comparison it was pretty ridicoulous, because I also had some from klesh, and bobby nugget, those two are probably all I would ever buy from from here on out. The goldn paydirt was very stingy with the shiny stuff. So, finally my 11 bags worth $220 came in the mail today, .24 grams @ todays price is about $40. I mean, it's pretty silly. All in all, to be fair, it's easy to pan, and it has nice little bitty chunky flakes you can grab with tweezers, but it's madness to spend $220 to get $40 worth of fun when the other guys would give you $110 worth of fun.

I purchased this product to practice panning for gold after having previously received a panning kit as a gift and really enjoying it. I am very happy with my purchase! The kit I had before came with dirt, but the Goldn' Paydirt bag had MUCH more gold in it. Additionally, this product seems well-suited for beginners due to the variety of sizes of gold bits (other reviews reference "mesh size" but I don't know enough to comment on that). There were some nice pieces that were easy to spot right away (about 2-3 mm in length), as well as some smaller pieces that don't quite show up in the pictures that I will attach, which provided some immediate gratification to motivate the more challenging process of getting the smaller bits out. In fact, if you are shopping for a gold panning kit, I would recommend checking to see if Goldn Paydirt sells one. If not, I would suggest either ordering this product (Goldn' Paydirt) and the stuff to go with it (e.g., pan, tweezers, eye dropper) separately, or order a kit and this item to go with it. The recipient will have MUCH more fun. Although I am just a beginner, I would suspect that this product also offers a reasonable value for more advanced hobbyists, given the relatively low price point. I do not have a scale that would weigh grams, but as one can see in the pictures, there seemed to be a fair bit of gold in the bag that I bought. **The pictures that I was able to take don't do this justice because I am not-just-kind-of a terrible photographer (I really did try to get good pics, but that's just not one of the things that I am good at). Most of the gold that I found does not show up (There were a lot of tiny bits that didn't show up in the pictures).
