i dont beleive anyone sells their bags of consentrats for whats in them. if they cant make a profit doing so, they just dont sell them! esspeccially now that the gold prices have jumped so high!

Hmm so people sell paydirt after they have went through it themselves? Sounds kind of shady to me. :o

There not going to give you $20.00 in gold in a $20.00 bag. LOL

They need to make money.

Most bags I've seen are not just dirt pulled from the ground.

The sands or and gravel has been washed and processed.

Bags are salted with gold.

To keep things interesting, some bags will contain more or less.

Yes they need to make some money, which is what they charge you for the paydirt.

Going through it first in my opinion is wrong.

I can send you the dirt I dig!

Like me, you may or may not find gold in it!

At least you find gold in those bags.

Buying paydirt is a good way for a newbie to "get the feel" but just ONCE. Then you gotta' go get "yer own". Hmmm, back in about '78 OUTDOOR LIFE said going after your own fish cost about $70 a pound. I wonder what that would make gold worth today! TTC

There was a show on GPAA chanel where Tom Massie bought 3 bags of sand from Home Depot in
So.Cal. for $9 and got $27 in gold from it.
(Numbers are not exact but you get the meaning).
Thanks for reminding me. I got a couple bags from shows I forgot about.
