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*

My son and I got a bag each and were really surprised at the amount of gold we recovered from each bag. There was even a few small garnets in each bag which was a bonus.. The pay-dirt was easy to pan and a great introduction to gold panning for my son.. Well worth the $33 we paid for each bag, we'll definitely be buying more..
A great way to learn gold panning ,some very fine gold,quite hard to see.
Love it mate. I'm 60 so big bags are to much so love the little bag and don't care how much I find it's good for practice and can pan it 3 times and still get gold so I sux but still having a go and got the kids into it now.
Loved the challenge, I’m used to magnetic black sands so the non magnetic was a good challenge, panned out my tailings and needed to do so 3 times to get all the fine gold. Ended up with a very respectable 30-40 specks and some slightly chunkier stuff.
There was more in the $33 pay-dirt pouch than I was able to find while panning for a week LOL I think it has alot to do with finding the right location rather than my panning technique. Thank you and I will surely be purchasing more from you real soon!
