tvanwho Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 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? -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LipCa Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenminer Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 .I wonder how Chicken Miners dirt is? -Tom 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyLundy Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 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. LuckyLundy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjmpainter Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I think the members of this forum need to post some gold in the classifieds. Seems there is a demand for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
