$3200.00 Bucket of Dirt? Gold Nuggets! Oh Ya!

  • Check out this incredible GOLD I pulled out of this paydirt bucket.. This custom Nugget Bucket was made to order from one of B.C.'s top Paydirt sellers, Eurika Gold Sands. He promised an 80% ROI and delivered. Gold panning pay dirt can be very fun. Seeing and holding these huge gold nuggets quite the experience. Panning paydirt is not the same as prospecting for gold, but for some it might be the only way to find great gold. This is the largest bag or bucket of pay dirt I have reviewed. Paydirt reviews are not really my thing. But I don't mind doing the odd paydirt review. Specially for the local gold suppliers. This is the most fun you will ever have with a bucket of dirt.

    I have sent a few of your pay dirt bags to my father since his heart attack. It gives him something to do that he always loved to do. Plus he gets excited every time he looks at what is in the pay dirt. It's therapeutic for him. Thank you Mr. Hurd.

I look at those beautiful mountain streams in this video, and I feel so sad for our wonderful planet, when it is left in the hands of (predominantly) greedy men who pretend they want to save the world but really don't give a shit.

    As a recently retired science teacher it would have been fun to do this for my classroom. I taught all hands on science to at risk students with behavioral issues. These were all inner city kids and it was always amazing how they became excited about learning. When they first came to us the system had failed them and then spit them out. They hated school (couldn’t blame them) so it was so rewarding to teach to mastery as my philosophy was that education should be taught as exploration.

    As a kid I used to dream that I was a ‘49er panning for gold. One way of copping with this virus isolation gave me a new hobby with pay dirt! I know it’s not to get rich, but after 5 bags, I’m getting fair panning skills and not dropping everything on the carpet! (🤪 My first bag had several decent flakes and one picker, I lost it all when I turned over my hand holding the uncapped bottle. If there was more than a couple of dollars worth, I’d follow your assaying video and cut a hole in the carpet!) I am disabled and cannot get out into nature right now so a bag at a time and lots of UA-cam videos is really fun. Thank you for all you do!

  • @johnsaucerhunter
    @johnsaucerhunter 4 роки тому +10

    While reading all these comments, there is one "X-Factor" no one is talking about. That being your initial cost in a Paydirt bag/bucket versus the cost to go find that same amount for yourself out of the land. You've got gas, food, lodging, clothing, equipment and other misc items. The old adage when it comes to finding Gold is akin to spending a dollar to find just .05 cents of Gold. A lot of effort without the R.O.I. So in some cases, doing Paydirt in the comfort of your 'abode' could be about the same (cost wise) as looking for it out in the Wild. I think for a number of people that don't do any form of mining should consider practicing with the small packs of paydirt and then practice again and again and again till you don't lose any of the fine stuff. The cost for some of the small packages would equate (value-wise) pretty much the same as the cost of filling up your Gas-tank to go find the gold.

      This. I've always said that the real money in gold is in buying it from idiots wasting their time working six hours or more a day for ten bucks worth of profit and selling it to rich women in cities. Also gold prospecting equipment. I've made 2 wash plants, one man portable one on a trailer. I then sold them immediately without ever getting to test them in the wild for a ridiculous amount of money (the only thing close was when I built a $5k motorcycle and sold it for $25k when done - something I could repeat all day long but don't because I'm a moron) mostly because I used PVC and plastics and heat welding to assemble it making it far lighter in weight and passing several laws in Australia on machinery.
      A high banker sells for $1k+, yet has about $60 worth of parts to it, and I sold it for half market price. You can't tell me that's not a ridiculous scam. I actually felt dirty selling the above three machines I mentioned, I cannot morally do it. I feel like I'm a mugger or something because I know it's NOT worth that. Idk how companies like Gold Hog and Keene etc sleep at night. That's why I stick with my day job.
      But you're correct; the real money isn't in finding gold it's in exploiting the addiction. Just like art, or all the dolphin trainer ambitions young women have; the real money in art is selling art supplies, the real money in authoring is selling book publishing, the real money in music is paid distribution, the real money in modelling is banging hot chicks on the casting couch, uh, I mean selling them headshots for $50 a photo, etc, etc.

  • @PrometheusZandski
    @PrometheusZandski 5 років тому +32

    I am a bit confused. If the whole point of panning paydirt is to train yourself to be a better panner, then you should start with a known quantity of gold at different sizes to then compare how well you did in your recovery. Hopefully you are 100%, but you sure will be better then 80%. If you can't find at least 80% of the gold in a bucket, then you need to keep practicing.
    So if I put $3200 into buying a number of different nuggets and fines, assuming I can find all my gold in the bucket, I now have an essentially free learning tool, which I can reuse as many times as I need in any different condition I want to simulate. I have saved myself $600 that can be used for fuel or equipment. That sounds, to me, like a more sound business decision for your hobbie.
    What am I missing here that is worth $600?
