Press delete. Simple as that. Go smaller and more local if you are inspired to buy cons.

For example, here in CO, my friend Don Finley sells paydirt (Link removed by mod) thru his "Goldstrike" brand.

Get both and compare how much fun and gold you get for your dollar...I know how this turns out!

PS I have no connection other than friendship to this business.

I will have to try both. I just don't really like knowing that the cons have been peppered. I want the thrill of finding gold as it was.

They all add gold to their paydirt. Otherwise they run the risk of sending you a bag with no gold in it and getting a bad review somewhere like here. The only real difference is whether the base dirt they start with is unsearched concentrates, semi-searched concentrates, raw paydirt or just playground sand. That last is more common than you'd like to think!

Hey Ducky, quick answer is yes it can be a good idea. You can charge about double the value of the gold you salt into the paydirt (plus shipping) so there's some money in it compared to selling commodity gold. However, it is more work in marketing and packaging/shipping.

Hey Kevin,,,
How much does a bag of cons weigh?
And I guess the shipping would be relational to the weight.
But say a "regular" bag to 17065 would cost me how much?

PM reply is fine,, or just here.

Thanks

A lot of people sell in the 1-3 pound range. Some use the usps fixed price shipping boxes.

I don't sell paydirt myself so I don't have exact numbers on shipping costs, sorry.
