What's the best pay dirt out there?

Hello All,

I know there is already a thread or two about pay dirt but I wanted to see fi anyone had any recent reviews or suggestions regarding pay dirt. It's almost winter here in Colorado and am planning on panning indoors with some pay dirt to cure the fever till spring.

I have tried Felix Paydirt in the past about 4 years ago and was please but I hear good and bad things from time to time. I recently just tried Eureka Joes's and have been pleased so I may just buy more from them. Has anyone else tried Eureka Joe's?

Thanks!

Haven't tried them but you might try some Goldhog concentrates. His company is very reputable and I think he is a sponsor on this forum so here is his link for cons. Gold Concentrates for Sale

Be sure to visit his main website too. His videos are very helpful even to the experienced. Gold Prospecting Videos http://www.goldhog.com/panning_fine_gold.htm

Doc is a great guy and has good concentrates based paydirt. Another good one is my friend Don's http://goldstrikeadventures.com/goldstrike-paydirt/4582737960 Since he is based in North Denver, you may be able to pick it up without having to pay shipping charges

That said, a lot of us continue prospecting right thru the winter (mostly on sunny days I confess) here in town. Have you tried winter prospecting in Clear Creek at Arapahoe Bar Prospecting Park? It is just downstream from the big Coors brewery so the water is always warm...on a sunny day in midwinter it's like a trip to the beach!

Also, this Sunday show up at Steele St Open Space Park on the east side of Steele St just north of 78th St around 10 or so. Several of us are meeting there to do some panning, sluicing and such. If you come later, just walk east on the rec path to the river then down stream until you see us down on the giant cobble bar just past the railroad bridge.

I would lean more towards cons VS paydirt.
I have heard of people being upset that there were not enough (if any) heavies in their paydirt to similar a real pan for the panning exp.

Also some people just make their own cons, they will buy placer gold on ebay, dump it into some unworked material and pan away.

Randy, C17A, who lives in Buena Vista, CO. He is a friend and has been getting very high ratings for his cons. He has great videos and I think there are a number of folks here who know him (personally or by reputation).

Gold Adventures - Some of the best gold concentrates anywhere!   NOTICE:  Very sorry, but I can't ship to Canada any longer. The Canadian Customs & Ag Inspectors won't allow my cons in due to their Plant Protection Act.

You're way better off buying a few nuggets and fines (from a legit seller) off E-bay or CL and mixing your own. Do you honestly think for one minute the pay dirt charlatans are actually going to give you your money's worth in gold? If so… let me have your CC number right now. I've got some snake oil that will cure whatever ails you.

If I was a charter member here I would sell you fines at about $3 per grain.
