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!
