Buying gold and concentrates/paydirt

[BigWave]

Also, to get sufficient concentrates, you need concetrating gear.
Buying a sluice etc may be over and above wanting a few handfuls to practice panning.
This is not laziness?

I think they are a great present. Wouldn't buy for myself but as a gift i think its not a bad idea, as a novelty idea to someone who 'has everything' (and an interest in gold), or if you are into gold prospecting then it has a slight personal touch as a gift to someone too. I haven't seen many packets on the market but the golden spear in our area are packaged in a really well presented way that also appeal as a present rather than a zip lock bag for example. And hey if you don't have access to gold and want to get your fix for the fever and have the coin then why not!

Hey Stru, yeah I have given a few packs of the Golden Spear Mine pay dirt to friends as presents.
Very well presented and with good gold content.
Also produced by an active PA member.

Friends really loved trying to pan it (as did I).
Will buy some more when back in stock, as have some more friends who are interested.

Yep

Bought some from golden spear to practice panning at home (5 hours from gold)
I thought 50 bucks was pretty good.

I still occasionally put some back into dirt and repan just to practice.
For me it was worth

I'd like to make a suggestion.

You guys are getting 5-10 hours out of these packs.
Seems like cheap entertainment to me regardless of the end result.

I've bought paydirt from Aussie Bloke Prospector and while it is seeded there is a good amount of gold for the cost of the small bag.

You can never break even on paydirt...otherwuise the blokes doing it would go broke.

It is however a good lerk if you can be bothered. If you seed one gram of gold (say spot price of $50gram) into a 300gm back of dirt and you sell it for $75 then it is a nice way to make a little profit. But...you gotta have enough gold and or gem stones to make people want to buy it.

I guess if you look at it like that then ???

The way I see it is; people are too lazy to go and dig their own paydirt, so they buy a bag from someone they don't even know, or know where the dirt has come from....then have the cheek to "WHINGE" about the amount/lack of gold in it. So;
1: get off your lazy ass and go dig your own dirt.
2: buy it, take the chance of very little/no gold.
3: stop BLAMING everyone else for your laziness.

Geez!
Sorry, rant over.

Mate i bought it to raise money at the nafpa auction
Its something id not normally buy ,but had me intrigued
Id rather have my head down an bum up digging around the turon or Mitchell creek
So facts first before you call someone lazy good sir

Do you want a guaranteed or minimum?
I'll gladly sell you $5 gold in a $45 packet all day long.
