Gold Dirt

[tvanwho]

No nuggets for me but I had bought some gold panning dirt from an Ebay seller from Arizona for $40 + $8 shipping for 4 pounds . I got me a nice blue plastic washtub from Wally World ,holds about 7 gallons of water. I used a small gold pan to pan out the dirt finally, in the washtub , with nice warm bath water.

  This seller uses a contraption that looks like a cement mixer but with a cylindrical screen mounted in the center with a spraybar  that he shovels dirt into .He has a claim near Rich Hill, Arizona he says. He has videos on Youtube. His outfit is Johnny Gold Dust and he will take people out to his claim for $50 a day per person, up to 14 days.His email is noyesboy@yahoo.com

I think I'd  rather pay $50 a day to dig near Rich Hill vs $300 a day from others which would break me in a hurry I am afraid...

Anyway, see photo and scale readings. I panned out 10.5 grains of gold flakes from my 46 dollars of dirt, so I guess thats around $25 dollars worth.

  Does anybody else sell richer dirt? I tried Felix paydirt but it wasn't so good.I wonder how Chicken Miners dirt is?

Guaranteed amount of gold in every pack.

Bearkat's right in there... $5 a grain vs $4.76 a grain on what you paid.

I think that are all going to be about the same. Gold is about $2.50 a grain now. So, a fair profit (or loss) after cost subtracting recovery cost....

 Tom,

   I sell a limited amount of paydirt only because my customers keep asking me to. I don't make money on it and frankly it's a

pain in the butt to do so.  How's that for a sales pitch!

I will have to try some dirt from Chicken, Alaska then. I don't spose you could tell us how the town got its name, just curious?

 There are other versions but if you can't have fun with it .... what's the point

Tom,

If your looking to purchase nuggets, I always have a poke for sale! I can toss some dirt and the poke in a gallon zippy bag. All kidding aside, I sell gold that I find.

I think the members of this forum need to post some gold in the classifieds. Seems there is a demand for it.
