2 lb. "Picker Bag" Gold Panning Paydirt Loaded With Pickers & Small Gold Nuggets!!!

This red/brown, fairly dry dirt was fun to pan. It was a nice change from the darker brown dirt I usually pan. After classifying with a #20 screen and washing out the clay I found about 20 good pickers & 1 small picker/nugget in my first pass. I got approximately 0.18 grams of nice, bright gold, and can see some gold flour that will need more work to retrieve. Not too much black sand in the dirt I received.Not the "richest" paydirt I have panned, but some of the most fun. After all, this is not a way to get rich, but a hobby!Good dirt for someone just getting started, or for folks with less patience, as the bright gold is easy to spot, and of a decent size.

Its great fun to pan your own gold and there is gold in the bag and 2 or 3 pieces big enough to pick out (pickers) or klinkers as I call them as they are big enough clink against the side of the bottle when you shake it.

I am taking this very seriously. I just spent $45 for a bag of dirt with an unknown amount of gold in it, yes it is a gamble. I am completely new to gold panning but I have the fever. Got a tub, pans, classifier, bilge pump, magnets, separator, rock picks and the sluice is on the way. I also have a scale that is accurate to .001 grams. I am going to go through this dirt several times until I am sure I have every last molecule of gold. I also purchased a smaller 1lb bag of dirt from another supplier and will do the same thing with that dirt and will weigh the evidence so to speak and will post my results. For now I am giving 5 stars for fast delivery, also the dirt looks promising, I have a good feeling about this..Ok, it is a couple weeks later and was wanting to give a more accurate review but I screwed up and ended up having to mix dirt from this 2 lb bag and another 1 lb bag from a different distributor. I mainly bought this dirt because this is my first attempt at panning gold and this really helped me in developing a good technique and learning how the gold behaves in the pan. I went through the sample several times and found my process was not leaving anything behind. Having said that the photos I am posting are the combined haul. It would be fair to roughly estimate that this bag yielded 2/3 of the gold seen in the picks..The total weight is .554g not bad at all. The gold to currency converter tells me $20.43 at 1147 per ounce

very happy with this picker bag , I found 5 good size pickers, and a lot of flakes. thank you

This had a lit of gold. And when contacted was very nice and honest. Everything arrived in one day, was packaged great. I recovered some,good pieces of gold.I will be getting the 65.00 bag next.But all in all this,is great Paydirt..Will be buying,soon

I get paydirt as a whim. something to spend the weekend with. I have after the initial panning picked out 4 small nuggets (lentil sized) Have seen loads of flakes and a few smaller pickers and tons of gold dust. I just picked out the nuggets. But I have bought3 paydirt bags from different vendors in the last month and this one is by far the absolute best.

I found a lot of gold in this bag, some nice size nuggets 3 gram size. I was excited to just hunt for each piece and then really happy to actually find gold.

This was a Christmas present last year. Enough gold that it made him happy. More gold than he panned all summer. I'm hoing to buy again.
