Price increase of $1 due to rising gold prices, I kept it as low as I could for as long as I could.
$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 $40 and a few cents worth of gold*

I bought 2 of the slobber bags, one for me and one for my daughter to try. The gold in my bag was larger than I was expecting ( for a lucky dip option) and I got about 30 specs. My daughter’s bag had a decent sized picker in it, easily bigger than anything I’ve ever found prospecting. She is only 11 but now has the bug. Her bag probably had about 15 other specs in it. Total weight was about .45 of a gram. Would definitely buy it again even with the price increase
I loved panning for gold with the kids. I learned heaps about the process. I’ll get a full gram bag next and rest my skills against a set of scales. Thanks Chris!
your paydirt and slobber bags are amazing, my kids love panning out the bigger pieces of gold and leave the finer gold for me over a few frothy ones, kids also like the little gifts you throw in as well, keep up the good work lads
There is a decent amount of gold in such a small bag
