Alright I kinda laugh about this paydirt stuff but since I live in ohio kinda thinking of trying it. They have a sample pack for 2 bucks I'm going to try it. Now who thinks ill just get the 2 bucks back. Just like with the bigger bags or buckets I think you'll get just enough back to keep you going. Like the lottery. Lol so am I wrong, does anyone use it?

Be warned you will be added to their marketing list.

I got a free sample and now I get automated phone calls and flyers in the mail all the time from them. I should've put a fake phone # when I ordered. ;)

I got a good amount of gold in the free sample though.

Got mine just to try it so when I first started with this gold prospecting thing I would know exactly how to pan,and what the gold actually did.
Put it this way,I put it in a glass vile,the stock ones all mineing supply stores sell.
And there are at least,6-8 flakes that show up really good.
Of course the water enhances them,but they sure look good.
And actually,even without the water,can still be seen easily.

Did I get my $2 back.
Maybe?Maybe not?Maybe $1, maybe .50 cents. Does not matter to me.
I have gold in my vile,and now know what to look for,and exactly how gold behaves in my Garrett pan.
And of course he wants more business.
Would I do it again, sure would.

Maybe ill try it, heck I can go out today and md 2 bucks worth of clad. Ill just use my txting nber so the dude can't bug me lol. The fliers and junk mail I read all that anyways. I'm not really worried about getting my money back I didn't mean it that way was just trying to gauge what you get.

My only concern is that the people who buy alot of it don't get what they should. If its fine dirt then that means its screened and classified. So that mean you don't get virgin dirt so if you buy a bucket those nuggets over 1/4 in are problay gone. But like I said I live in ohio so for someone like me that can't afford a trip
To Alaska it's worth the 3500 for a bucket. You could barely get airfare for that lol.

Don't let anyone tell you different, Ohio has plenty of gold.
It will never compare to out west but there's plenty enough here to enjoy finding yourself instead of spending money on pay dirt.
Where abouts in Ohio are you?
