Nugget Reserve Gold Paydirt Clunker Panning Pay Dirt Bag – Gold Prospecting Concentrate

So I enjoy ordering pay dirt from time to time, especially now that my prospecting days are over. I like this supplier because they have different levels and quantity available, also, I use my Amazon points when I get enough so really nothing out of my pocket.Keep in mind that these small bags are just for fun as there is an un measurable amount of gold, but a few pretty pieces. I have spent days in the creek and found less than in this small bag. I will like to try the next level up! I do recommend this product for beginners because it is fairly easy to pan.

That was a rip off. I didn’t expect much and I wasn’t let down. Lol 2 tiny flakes and some flour gold. Klesh gold guarantees 1/4 gram for the same price.

We get my husband a bag of dirt to pan every year for his birthday and some times Father's day. He is experienced with panning and I wanted to splurge and get him a "clunker" bag. There was gold but the pieces were so thin and light that some was just floating out of the pan or on top of the water.. (we use a large plastic tub to pan in/over). He panned it twice and some of the gold we could see but it was to small to even collect with the water bottle. The "clunker" wasn't really that much bigger than some of the pieces we have gotten in less expensive bags that don't claim to have one. I won't "splurge" for this one again. But he did get a small amount of gold.

First time buying any paydirt. Got a couple of pickers. For those reading reviews, you are paying for the experience of gold panning, labor to package, the packaging, the shipping, and the chance of bonus gold. Many bad reviews from those hoping to retire off of a little bag of paydirt. They probably get mad when they buy a $5 scratch off ticket and don’t win $5. I look forward to buying more.

Just like regular dirt, you can't really tell what's in the bag until you start panning it. The bag was smaller than I expected, about the size a fist full of dirt and measured at a little over 200 grams. Panning it turned out to be fun and cathartic to me. I spent a while getting as much of the flecks out as I could fine and saw a whole lot of what I'll call micro specks. Tons of black sand that I found out was quite magnetic. I love magnetic substances so of course I had tons of fun with that as well. I won't call it magnetite, but that's probably what it is. All in all, I turned out with about 0.3 grams of gold flecks. I'm sure each bag is a gamble with how many flakes it has in it since you can't get to the flakes without dissolving most of the solids around the flakes. These won't make you rich, but you will have fun and get a return for your investment as well.

Gold is roughly 40 dollars per gram. I bought 2 of these, in order to average out the gold per bag. I obviously didn't get one of the great lottery bags, together, I panned just under .5 gram. So that's about 20 bucks, top dollar price for this gold. Don't get me wrong, they did have 1 decent sized nugget in each, which represented probably 20 percent of the gold found in each pan. If you are getting into gold panning and want some practice, enjoy the thrill of the hunt, these are a great way to go. Or, you might save a few bucks and buy one of their cheaper bags, still find gold, and still have fun. At over a 60 dollar combined cost, with a 33% return on investment, I don't recommend that you purchase these if you enjoy the idea of coming even remotely close to breaking even.To make matters more complicated, this company does offer an incentive to rate them 5 stars, they will give you a small pay dirt bag with your next order. So read these 5 star reviews with a little skepticism. You have to come close to 1 gram each bag to break even, when you consider that this gold wouldn't be at the top dollar market value, since it's not been purified to 24 karat.I am not an expert gold miner or anything like that. I have purchased several different brands here, and direct from various web sites, and I have to say, this was one of the poorest return on investments I've seen so far.Bottom line, you'll have fun panning for gold, and this bag is no different that the rest, with the exception that it costs 10 bucks more than your average bag. You will get a decent sized small, but heavy nugget. Unless your win the "lottery", that is, you get a bag where they added extra gold, you don't come close to getting your money's worth of gold. They say, if you want to get your moneys worth, but a gold coin or whatever.Ask yourself, does a company with a great product, need to offer an incentive for users to give them great reviews, is it honest? If they can't be honest in one area, are they being honest in how much gold they actually add in each bag or that they even have "motherlode" bags?

UPDATE: inside all of their bags of gold there is a card with 4 things as a buyer if you complete they will send you 2 free addl bags of gold. We did all of them and then some. I have emailed this company for several months and not a single word back. This IS a fun thing to purchase however to lie to your customers and dangle a carrot that they spend real time on is a shame. My review is real and I'm leaving that up. But i wouldn't invest too much time into the promised extra bags of gold. :Where to start!! This was fun in a bag!! It was alot of fun to classify some "clunkers " and with the remaining flower gold, I used my homemade blue bowl. I would call myself a novice so practicing with different types of gold from different parts of the u.s. have been incredibly helpful honing my "skills". I've purchased from a few mines previously (Alaska, Arizona and California) and now Virginia. This has been by far the chunkiest and the most fun so far for the price. I would absolutely recommend purchasing this. No you aren't going to get rich, no you aren't randomly going to find a Giant nugget. But you WILL have a great time and like I said it's great practice to try all different kinds of dirt from different parts of the country. Just buy it already lol
