Heading to CO for the weekend. Sons birthday and he's totally into rockhounding and collecting all the magnetics ;) Gonna teach him about toughing it out since they just got a little more snow so the creek gonna be nice and chilly.
The can has a zip code on the address, hence not from the 1950s, as you stated! Zip codes came in during the 1960s. Old-style soldered cans were still made well into the 1970s and 1980s. Hallmark Precious metals was around in the 1970s and is still around, although they have moved. Thanks for a very cool video!
First: the way you gently placed the can in the pan this time was adorable! I'm so used to use dropping, plopping or tossing it in. You were so respectful and responsible. You are wonderful. Every time I see one of the short videos where some dope is trying to "get rich" on those cheap "mine for gold/gem" bricks that you put in water... I always leave a comment telling people to come watch you instead because those things are bad news. Your videos are fun and educational. You are such an authentic cool person and I hope to watch for years to come.
That was really cool to see vintage pay dirt, and really nice of you to pan it and send back Klesh, thanks Mat too for giving Klesh the opportunity to show us!!
What a friggin’ cool paydirt! You really do have the awesomest subscribers, Shane. Thanks for doing such a great job documenting the process for this paydirt in particular, and sharing your experience with us!
Fun fact, estimating roughly based on Klesh's kinda rough "20cents in 1950-60s" figure, the gold would actually be worth more in terms of purchasing power, due to inflation. Yep, inflation outpaced gold price rising... that gold actually was worth *more* back then if you compare the purchasing power to today's money. Roughly speaking, that mass of gold was worth $1.44 (or whatever Klesh said) in today's money and at today's gold prices... in 1960s gold prices, it was worth, 20cents of *1960s* money, which is actually $1.87 in 2021 dollars! ...Humans are weird about their colorful paper and shiny rocks, huh 😆😁💰
Wow, first time I've seen your videos. Very cool. I've researched my family history, genealogy, for many years. When I first started out I was confused because my family had "miner" listed as occupation on census forms. Miner? In NC during the 1700's? Then I asked my dad about that. Turns out during that time frame NC was a leader in gold production in the Colonies. They were mining gold! To this day one of my cousins still owns one of the mines my family owned. One of my uncles augmented his income when he got older by panning on a creek on his land leading to the Yadkin River. Finally my grandfather in addition to being a constable owned a drilling company. He'd drill water wells as well as drill cores for mining companies. On our old family homestead we still come across ~2" round cores that have been drilled thru the rock. Occasionally we'll find one with that pretty shine along the quartz lines. I have one that I use as a door stop that I've polished up and when the light hits it right the gold flecks sparkle.
Man, for a package that was made when gold was a fraction of the price, I was hoping to see some more impressive results. Seems more of a novelty then a real product. But cool nonetheless. Thanks for sharing the experience with us!

Neat that it does appear to be actual river placer material. It's annoying when you get some crushed rock from a quarry along with a little bit of super coarse hard rock gold.
I really enjoy your videos Klesh. It's amazing how the content on UA-cam has really replaced the majority of my digital entertainment and it is content like yours that has led the way. Keep up the good work.
Hallmark Precious Metals silver bars are really dope, especially the ones with Washington state engraved into to them. Really cool to see other vintage HPM products.
Oh man, I remember when I was a little kid we went to a ghost town to pan for gold and I actually found a few little gold flakes they put in a little bottle for me. The amount you found was about how much I found when I was a kid.
In the early 1950’s there was a catalog called the old prospector’s catalog it sold mining supplies author was jack Douglas was possibly sold in there? Made for a great video thanks Matt for sharing it with klesh so he could share it with us see you on the next one👊🏻👍🏻
Now I'm gonna be trying to find a sealed tin for the collection! Super cool can, always been a fan of old tins, cans, bottles for whatever reason! Such a cool concept having a tin from so long ago for a video in 2021. Loved it!
Great info in the comments! No matter the date it is the coolest paydirt WE have ever seen. What a cool guy to send you that. We are always surprised what fans will send in
You should send him a pan kit and have him film it with ur packs gold , if he wants to. Record it put it on ur channel. Especially if he’s not a panner. Newbie panning ur stuff after you panned his old grandpa can. Nice 👍🏻
He sent me a pan(autographed) and some "Krumbs". I haven't panned before, but I'm not a skilled videographer. I like your idea. I had initially proposed panning it first, but Klesh didn't think re-doing an opened can would work on his channel (which makes sense).
I found a .93 gram nugget in a old bag of paydirt. It wasnt 50 years old but it was from 1985 which was a time when gold was definately cheaper lol! I paid 19.99 for it in a gift shop in pigeon forge back in 2005.
Back on my shelf in fine condition glued shut like a surgeon. Not even going to open and re-pan it-Klesh included some of his for me and my kids to have our fun with!
with vintage cans you want to open the bottom always, because its not as noticeable if the can is going to be displayed afterwards. just a hint if you open many vintage cans.
Just got kits and a bunch of paydirt to do with my daughter, can’t wait till it Arrives and do the challenge beginner to expert! What else is there to do with all my time stuck at home thanks so much for the good information!!!!
I'm in Vermont when we were kids we were swimming in a swimming hole in Stowe Vermont in gold brook river.we kept seeing a buttery yellow rock at the bottom of the swimming hole no body could go down far enough to get the rock except my buddy who managed to dive down and retrieve it.when he got back up he had it in his hand and it was a huge nugget of gold.we wayed it and it was 1 and a quarter ounces. 1 of the biggest nuggets ever found in Vermont at the time .Vermont has lots of gold but it mostly all flower gold.the kid eventually sold it to a museum in town.
I knowm someone who put toghther a similar product many years ago, the dirt was from just a likely looking source and a few gold flakes were added so it was easy to find gold and then was legal to be called paydirt, but no dust is the giveaway!!!
That's pretty cool right there. I wonder how many other old time products are out there in the attics and crevices f basements. I recall that other older tourist one you did a while back...also cool.
Cool video! And it just goes to show that paydirt buys have always been about fun (and this one was indeed fun!) and not striking it rich. Thanks, I really enjoyed the vintage experience.
Super cool vid and it's really great of you to be so careful to preserve the history and allow that can to persist for a few decades more to be enjoyed by people!
That is a soldered can. they had very different dimensions. This would explain why the seams were enlarged so the modern can opener could only open- ish the can. i make food cans today. i know what what is what. very good video. i love gold!!!
I have a similar can opener but it cuts seemlessly and lifts off easily with little grips built into it. I looked but there is no brand name on it anywhere. Once lid is lifted, it fits snuggly back in the original slot.
Thanks for watching don't forget to subscribe for new treasure hunting videos at least one every week!

Can you buy gold from Europe
That was cool that Matt let you do the honors of panning this out. Cool collectible.
This is like a proper SteveMRE for pay dirt. Love it!
Big facts
Now let's get this out into a pan! Nice!
We need a collab
2 of my favotites, we need a crossover.
Theyre friends and thats why he does the now lets get this in the pan...nice!
So gentle putting that old can in the pan. I respect that.
The address on the back of the can has a zip code. They were first used in 1963 so it is no older than that.
Great tip thanks!
Yeah man, awesome info in general for collectibles.
Also, no bar code puts it before 1974. So we have narrowed it down to between those years.
@@harlandbiggs5635 awesome man! Kinda hope someone familiar with the product fills us all in 🤙
@@harlandbiggs5635 Nice detective work. Still close to, or exceeding 5 decades! Amazing!

Hé says it’s 40 to 50 years old , so 1970-1980. He was right
@@brambakker4058 He also mentioned the fifties and the sixties too dude!👍
Sir he said 60s
Yea you obviously didn't read that right as it says 50 years old not 1950...

Hello klesh thanks to you I’m in love with gold panning, and for my birth day I bought all the supplies needed for gold panning and I have gold. Thxxx
You show your followers and fans much love you spoil them much love n respect ✊🏼 loyalty honesty is hard to find
Thanks 🙏
That's crazy that they sold cans like that then. I guess it was a tourist souvenir type thing. Awesome find.
“Let’s take a look at it in a pan” *literally sets the can in the pan…* 😂 I don’t think that joke will ever get old!
That was really cool to see vintage pay dirt, and really nice of you to pan it and send back Klesh, thanks Mat too for giving Klesh the opportunity to show us!!
For a second there, when I saw the can review I was almost expecting you to say, "Alright, let's get this out onto a tray! *NICE* !"
The ammo can shirt is badass.
I want one.

This is so cool, not every day you get to see vintage paydirt. 😁
All dirt is vintage....
I see what u did there...
That was a hard can to have to open. What a treat! Never seen an old can of paydirt before. Thanks Shane, really enjoyed.

I may have cost only 25 cents & unseeded.
All of the paydirt you can buy is a novelty.
50 years seems about right given that Zip Codes didn't start till 1963. So much fun!
I've only been aware of paydirt for about a year thanks to you and your videos. I can't believe it's been on sale for 50 years 😳 that's mad.
Neat that it does appear to be actual river placer material.
It's annoying when you get some crushed rock from a quarry along with a little bit of super coarse hard rock gold.
Well that was a cool paydirt review. Awesome way to open that can without destroying it. Nice !
thats so cool! 50 year old can of playdirt! wow! watching now
I really enjoy your videos Klesh. It's amazing how the content on UA-cam has really replaced the majority of my digital entertainment and it is content like yours that has led the way. Keep up the good work.
Good old Matt 👍🏻😜. Thanks for sharing it with us all bro 😎
You bet.
Hi, I just purchased an expert paydirt of yours as a thank you for all the paydirt videos you’ve posted. Thanks again
for a split second i legit had this thought to myself
"wow that dirt and gravel is 50 years old"
no "best by" date on the can-haw haw
More like millions of years old just tinned for 50 years 😂😂
They just don't make dirt like that anymore.
Ha!!
Awesome Shane👍🏻 Great to see an old can of paydirt⛏🏴
Hallmark Precious Metals silver bars are really dope, especially the ones with Washington state engraved into to them. Really cool to see other vintage HPM products.
I agree! while researching HPM I saw those Washington state bars I’ll have to try tracking one down for my collection
20 cents of gold from a can that was likely sold for $2 back in the day.
It was a lot easier to scam people back then!
Thanks Matt for sending in great content for Klesh to pan.
Brother something about vintage videos are just awesome. Definitely enjoyed this one wish you could find some more vintage gold items!
A vintage paydirt? That’s awesome
wouldnt it be cool if a descendant or the old owner of the company saw the video?
Oh man, I remember when I was a little kid we went to a ghost town to pan for gold and I actually found a few little gold flakes they put in a little bottle for me. The amount you found was about how much I found when I was a kid.
That’s was definitely a cool piece of Paydirt history and very enjoyable to watch you pan out. Thanks for sharing it!!
How’d u put that pan picture?

Thanks klech and a big thanks to Matt !
You're welcome
Love the vintage can and label. Very cool piece just to have in the collection! Sweet shirt you got there too Shane!
👍😎🇺🇸
Would have been more honest to put “Authentic Dirt From Probably Near A Gold Mine Maybe” but still fun to open up stuff from the past. Great video!
Nice...I came across this channel while looking into prospecting a couple days ago . thank you for doing these reviews and the other videos.
Welcome aboard!
Great info in the comments! No matter the date it is the coolest paydirt WE have ever seen. What a cool guy to send you that. We are always surprised what fans will send in
I've come back to read comments. Thx. Dude Matt up in Seattle
"Y'all called me a Madman.. putting dirt in tins..look at me now!"
That is probably one of the coolest paydirt reviews that you've done. Thanks to the guy that sent it to you.
I checked back on this to read through comments. You're welcome, it is my pleasure.
Very cool way to package paydirt. I think packing some in a sardine can would be cool too! Keep the videos coming!
Click bait from Klesh is the real deal. What an interesting prospect with first class treatment and response. Five stars for this one, Shane.
One of the few that actually delivers on their click bait
This was really cool. Even just the history of it. Loved it!
I am dude Matt up in Seattle. Sometimes I check back to see who's watched the video. Glad it brought some joy, it is fun for me.
Finally! Someone that knows how to use a can opener correctly
This guy is a class act.
SHANE that was awesome to see something from back than to what its like now thanks MATT for sending it to SHANE to do a review on it 👍😎🇨🇦👍😎🇨🇦👍😎🇨🇦
You are so welcome-well worth the shipping cost for all the love I'm receiving!

“Very nice” 🙂 its a special one. Great vid as per usual 👍🏻
Great video, always love watching your videos. That’s wild that a can of paydirt was sill around this many years later.
Zip codes started in early 1960s, '62 IIRC
Cool is right history and you got open it awesome awesome fantastic video thanks
Amazing how clean the gravel is.
I knowm someone who put toghther a similar product many years ago, the dirt was from just a likely looking source and a few gold flakes were added so it was easy to find gold and then was legal to be called paydirt, but no dust is the giveaway!!!
That's pretty cool right there. I wonder how many other old time products are out there in the attics and crevices f basements. I recall that other older tourist one you did a while back...also cool.
That was fantastic. What an experience!
As a Washington resident, I can confirm that is what river gravel looks like here
When that orange rock popped up in the gravel I was like 👀 but sadly, just pretty rock
Cool video! And it just goes to show that paydirt buys have always been about fun (and this one was indeed fun!) and not striking it rich. Thanks, I really enjoyed the vintage experience.
Super cool vid and it's really great of you to be so careful to preserve the history and allow that can to persist for a few decades more to be enjoyed by people!
That is a soldered can. they had very different dimensions. This would explain why the seams were enlarged so the modern can opener could only open- ish the can. i make food cans today. i know what what is what. very good video. i love gold!!!
I have a similar can opener but it cuts seemlessly and lifts off easily with little grips built into it. I looked but there is no brand name on it anywhere. Once lid is lifted, it fits snuggly back in the original slot.
Sir that was so cool thank you Wyoming. Blessings
Really good panning instructions
In the 1960's the price of gold was $35.27 a ounce. Nice video
And today you can spend that much or more on silver...
Zip codes were first used in the USA after 1963.
Hi Shane🙋🏻♀️That was really cool. 👍🏼Have a great weekend.
Very cool video !! I love old stuff like this.
I wonder if this was a souvenir product of the Seattle Worlds fair.
I wouldn't worry about the gold, i admire the look of the can haha.
I am doing mine. Thank you.
Very cool container! But guess people were getting burned in the 70s with pay dirt too!lol
Cool shirt! Also seeing that graph at the end really drives home how ending the gold standard impacted the gold market
