Paydirt review of 5- 1 Pound Bags of Gold Panning Pay Dirt from Pennasfire

Pennasfire is a seller I'd bought from before,  and used the  paydirt as gifts.  This time I bought strictly for myself.  The cost was 17.00 plus 5.35 shipping.  for a total of 22.35.

I must say I really had a good time with this paydirt.  It was clean, meaning  very little debris and not too muddy.   Now I know you might think that  could mean it's been run through before, but no.   It's just a gravel and fine gravel and some clean sand, with a tinge of red to it when you pan.

 It  sifted easily into the three different sizes I pan.  I had a ball.   Now the gold I found only weight .1 gram, but  I sure thought it would weigh more.  It seemed there was plenty of it dispersed int he  paydirt to make panning     fun and rewarding!

If you look at the picture you can see quite a few little pieces.   It made the experience fun!  Pennasfire  had very fast shipping and they added a personal note to the  paydirt, are very friendly and very appreciative of their customers.

If you are keeping track, The weight of the  gold  gave it a value of 4.45 or thereabouts.  that's not much of a return on investment. I must repeat again though, this isn't the kind of thing you can expect a return on investment for. you are buying  the experience. Now no one wants to feel like they have just bought someones  back yard dirt, with no gold in it.   Pennasfire is selling   the real deal I believe.

So if you have your head on right, and want some fun easy panning, this is the one for you!  If yo're looking for a bigger return on investment, buy some that has gold in it and is also salted. This is more of a realistic experience.  

I know the  paydirt I bought that I gave away, made the recipients happy, and i am happy with the  experience of this second  order. Pennasfire is also  a really nice communicator, and  they do aim to please.

Paydirt review of 20lbs PayDirt California-Gold, Yosemite Nat'l park,nugget,picker #2 from twoguysprospecting

Twoguysprospecting  are in Yosemite National park California.  I won  20 lbs of dirt at a  big of 24.99 plus 15.00 shipping. That adds up to a grand total of 39.99.The shipping was nice and fast,  no hassles at all. I do like that!  

The dirt  was very interesting.  It is a crumbled granite bedrock according to the description. It was small pieces, with  some dirt and sand too.   I did classify it, meaning I  used strainers to get the  three different sizes of dirt out.

There was a nice piece in the larger crumbles! I was excited.   The rest of the gold was in what I call the medium dirt, or the smaller crumbles.  There was no  gold in the sand or really fine dirt.

This was an interesting pan in that there were flakes and flakes of shiny gold! However it wasn't gold.  it's   simply what I call fake gold.  It gets our heart pumping to see that washing out of the pan so easily until you actually see a real gold flake.  Then you understand, that other flash in the pan wasn't real!

All in all it was a very easy pan.  20 pounds produced .3 grams of gold.

The pieces are nice!  

I did have fun, but there were times while panning that it was boring as heck.    20 pounds of dirt is lots to pan, and .3 grams isn't much considering.  So there were times I felt as if I'd never see another flake, but  then one would come along, and  that would bring a smile.   You might think it's a ripoff because the return on investment was 12.67 which didn't even cover shipping.    However, that is the gold business!    I believe these guys  are honest,  the return is simply what was in the  paydirt, no more no less.  You have the same odds and normally the same results if you go out  prospecting yourself.

 So, if you want  a high  return on investment guaranteed, this isn't the dirt for you.     Then again, if you want guarantees, no dirt is the dirt for you!
