Buying Paydirt or Concentrates: Why you Shouldn't..

I get calls every week from folks looking to buy "Concentrates," of bagged "Paydirt" from us. Many companies and individuals sell concentrates, or dirt that has been dug from a placer gold claim then run through a drywasher or trommel to "Concentrate" the paydirt down to its heaviest properties. This is then bagged by the pound and sold for anywhere from $10-$250.00 depending on the "quality" of the paydirt.

I don't sell paydirt because it is a scam. I don't care what company from Alaska to Arizona, it is not worth your money. You will be better off simply buying gold flakes and cutting the dirt baggers right out of the equation. Think about it for just a second.. If the paydirt was THAT rich, why not just mine it yourself?

Bags and shipping, advertising and filling orders is expensive and time consuming, AND they are going to GIVE you gold to? No gold prospector in history is going to sell you gold for less than it cost them to get out of the ground. Gold amounts are carefully weighed into each bag. Sometimes nuggets are placed in bags going to "good" repeat customers, in order to make the buy even more bags..

If you want to practice gold panning, get some dirt, some fish tank gravel, a little sand and some Shotgun Birdshot. Mix it all up real good, and practice panning out the birdshot.
You have now been officially informed, go in peace.

...if you are going to ridicule at least get your facts straight......I dont guarantee anything.Dude,its OK to admit your wrong.This is a battle you will not win..

Kugar, the only one fighting here is you. I simply stated my opinion, and explained my feelings with simple math. Seems to me the only person attacking anyone is you. You're spitting in the wind here Kugar. We have a REAL business that employs several professional gold prospectors and meteorite hunters, who help people from all over the world live their dreams. We don't cater to folks that just want to pan expensive gold flakes in their garage. What is it you do for a day job anyway Kugar? Well, it really doesn't matter. God bless you and your customers. That is it for me on this thread. You can continue to rant and rationalize. Taa-Taa. :occasion14:
