      I've just found a roman bracelet in my garden a few hours ago. You need to get over here now!👌💯👍💚💛❤️

      If it cost more than $2.49 I'd be surprised. Gas shot up to 75.9 cents a gal. And we had an energy crises. I remember it very well. Really cool to see something from back then, still in it's original packaging.👍✌

    pretty sure someone opened that bag before you, took the gold and re-shrink-wrapped it. i work in an aspect of retail that had dealt with shrink wrap for years... unless it was vacuum sealed no way does wrap last 50 years

  • @MRxMADHATTER
    @MRxMADHATTER 26 днів тому +7

    The shrink wrap looks too good for 1974.

  • @mabeycm
    @mabeycm 27 днів тому +4

    Hey, I have an alternative point of view!
    Perhaps someone (original owner or prior owners) already panned the gold and then sold it off as an antique?

  • @mikemanz
    @mikemanz 26 днів тому +7

    Seems to me like someone got into your Sourdough Joe bag and took out all o' yer gold!! That wrapper is waaaay too new to be true!

  • @South_Texas_Fail
    @South_Texas_Fail 27 днів тому +2

    Again I like how you present this as a hobby, and as something that people can do with their kids. I like that you do not present this as a get rich scam or something like that.

    Doubt these bags were even seeded back then, just some guy scraping sand off the ground into bags, lol

  • @firechicken455adventures

    The box and pamphlet were cool, but I was shocked that there was not even a flake in there.

  • @stingray427man

    I did some panning last week with some cheap paydirt. I've watched your videos for years. I forgot to put jet dry the micro gold was floating 😂. Love your paydirt. Thank you

  • @uncletiggermclaren7592
    @uncletiggermclaren7592 26 днів тому +4

    That was a suspiciously early use of plastic wrap, I think. I am 10 years older than that box, and I don't remember things like it BEING plastic wrapped ever, until many years later.

  • @deanweber4370

  • @ottergrotto5850

    You would think after 50 years, those specks would have grown a little bigger....🤔 🤣🤣🤣

  • @ExtractingMetals
    @ExtractingMetals 27 днів тому +4

    Maybe you should re-assemble this but salt the bag with extra “bonus” gold. Then auction it off for wounded warriors or some other charity of your choosing.

    I don't think you were the first to carefully open this. I suspect that someone opened it, got the Gold and resealed the package. That also explains the newer cellophane wrap.

    As an educational kit I guess it works. If you can find those microscopic pieces of gold in this pack you could say your panning skills are reasonably ok. You do get a gold pan and instructions so you could go out to a stream and use the skills you learned. The other lesson you can take from this is 'buyer beware'...

  • @firefighterjake8254
    @firefighterjake8254 27 днів тому

    No need to apologize. Sometimes life happens or your other channel takes priority. I really enjoy all of you videos from real prospecting in the river to bags at home and the yard sales videos. Can't wait for the next video.

    This has got to be the coolest little bag of Paydirt. The packaging and little panning guide was so neat.
    Me and my boys just recently bought the beginners kit from you Klesh and we are loving it. My oldest loves watching your videos! Keep up the great content!

  • @rolfbach2721
    @rolfbach2721 26 днів тому +6

    So I think what happened is they opened it up, paned the gold out dried it up and put it back. got it shrink wraped. then sold it on ebay for 50 buks

  • @MrDalerex
    @MrDalerex 27 днів тому +2

    I'm going to say there was more gold in there. Reason being back there and gold with what 60 dollars an ounce so it could have had easily a gram and a half in it. That could be the third set of Staples. LOL

    Hey Shane, my son and I are putting together a paydirt bag for you. It will have all types of goodies (gold,crystals,gemstones etc). My son is really excited and we just need to know how to get it to you, like a po box or however you get your fan mail. Oh, and also gonna include some concentrates from the Crater of Diamonds here in arkansas, so maybe you'll even find a diamond because I haven't gone through those cons

    I have a set kinda like this from the late
    1950’s-1960’s I did have it in the original box which also came with a gold pan and I had it for years sadly we had a flood which ruined the box and pan became rusted almost in a few days but I did save the tube of pay dirt…

    @BigSlick386 25 днів тому

    So, basically, you got a vintage “toy” of interest to you/us for under $60. Well worth it. Besides, they are $125 and higher right now, so you got a great deal. Thanks for sharing it with us!

  • @screwit8408
    @screwit8408 27 днів тому

  • @aJIexJIox
    @aJIexJIox 27 днів тому +2

    14:10 - 14:13 Did I see a gold speck jump off the pan? The "Yeah, we're done panning it off" right after would be ironic 😅
    Looks like yellow stone, but I need someone more experienced to tell me
