$33 paydirt. Yep you read that right.
For many years there has been a niggling problem that bit at my consciousness. And that is that there is no true "unsearched" paydirt.
And for good reason. Who is going to pay money for a bag of dirt with no gold in it? Well I might have worked it out.
Paydirt is meant to do 3 things:
- Teach people, how to pan, what gold looks like, what black sand is, what stone is associated with gold etc.
- Entertain, give you the opportunity to pan gold from a different area, to experience another region or country, usually for much cheaper than going there.
- Access, there are people who either geographically, physically, mentally or financially have no way of going to a goldfield.
For these reasons paydirt exists.
But 99% of it is made up, even mine. Yes it's made from Reedy Creek tin, it contains Reedy Creek gold and stone. But I put it together to ensure you get what I've advertised.
It's not a true reflection of what an average pan is like there.
So I've been working on these, "Slobber Bags", thanks to Ferns influence.
These paydirts are true unsearched paydirt, I prospect for a spot, then set the sluice box up and do 2 to 3 runs, collecting the cons from each. These cons are cleaned and dried before being packed.
All of them have gold, I did multiple checks by test panning samples as I packed, but there is no minimum guarantee.
What you are getting is a 100% authentic representative sample of cons that I would be worked in my area. This is a true accurate pan of gold.
Some of them are richer than others, some might have a bunch of gold in them. All I know was when I sluiced I did 100 shovels of 30 to 50 specks per shovel.
There is no minimum guarantee of gold, just that there will be some gold.
You will receive a bag of cons weighing around 80 grams. It will contain gold, black sands, iron stone, quartz, and other things found sluicing the creeks around Beechworth, Victoria.
*So far people have told me that they have recovered anywhere between $200 and a few cents worth of gold, often averaging between 0.08 and 0.14g*

I really enjoyed panning the slobber bags and although I didn’t get a great deal of gold it was good practice. I am only a beginner so I will be going through them a few times to see if I have missed any. The main thing is it was good fun and good experience. I will purchase more.
I’m a very amateur prospector who lives in a non-gold bearing region. I grew up outside Bathurst, and my dad taught me as a child how to pan for gold. The slobber bags from The Old Mouldy, together with Chris’ YouTube channel and Facebook page have reinvigorated my love of all things shiny! The black sand gets me all excited and then I tap the gold and I’m in 7th heaven. My hubby laughs when he comes home and finds me panning on the kitchen bench! 🤣😂🤣 Highly recommend! 😘
More than impressed with the bags setup. Taught me so much about cons and getting into that black sand! Awesome
I love the slobber bags. You always get gold. No guaranteed amount but 100% always gold. recmmend!
As always, a great product that I enjoy. Your version of black sand is no joke level of hard. Thanks again for providing the hard work so we can enjoy products like these.
