Vanderwhalgoldprospecting sells dirt from Alaska. I really wanted to try Alaskan dirt, and though most dirt that comes from Alaska is really pricey, his was reasonable, considering! This was for 5 pounds plus a half pound bonus, which is a promotion he has going on right now.
The first thing I encountered was when he said there might be a delay in shipping, a family emergency. I said no problem! But you know what? Even though there was a days delay, that stuff got here so FAST! If he hadn't said a thing I'd never have noticed!
The dirt arrived with the bonus dirt, which in and of itself was exciting, but he also send another little bonus to make up for the delay, which wasn't really a delay form my point of view. Alaska is along way from here, but you'd not know that from how fast that dirt arrived!
The dirt is a dark color, black-ish. It arrived damp. Not wet, damp. I don't think it made a difference in weight. The only thing I didn't like is that I'd tried to sift the damp dirt and It clogged up the sifters However if you classify ( sift) it in water, it does nicely!
I classified into three sizes, and started panning. I was a fun pan. The dirt was dark, pretty, and the tiny gravel in it was nice to look at, and of course the gold was exciting to find! There was a flake in almost every couple of teaspoons I put in the pan! The gold was nice flakes and one of the pieces was rounder and made such a nice clink when I put it on the scale!
It looks nice in the jar too! Total weight of the gold was .7 grams. If you are counting return on investment, that's around 60 percent return. Not bad really! It was a fun experience and no one expects a huge return, so when you get this much you're stoked!
I do recommend this seller because he is conscientious, communicative, and the dirt is pretty darn good! Now will everyone do so well? Some will do better some worse. However, unless you're a real scrooge, you'll like this dirt!
