Bought paydirt on ebay 5 pounds only .12 grams, is this normal ?

[GoldMine21]

I bought for the first time paydirt. It was 5 pounds of Whiskey Petes Gold on ebay. I paid $27.75 for the 5 pounds and was super excited. I expected to get at least 10 dollars worth in gold but I only had .12 grams of gold. I sluiced it and panned it about 10 times. I couldn't believe how little was in there. I know paydirt is for learning experiences, but is this normal for 5 pounds of paydirt for that price ? He has such good reviews I assumed it would be good dirt. Is .12 grams a lot for 5 pounds of paydirt bought online ? Can you recommend anyone that has better paydirt ? Like I said I know its for learning experiences, but I still expected a bit more than that, or is this normal ?

Well smart guy stephen,

As a web developer you have no idea what you are talking about. This is a website/forum owned by a private individual/individuals. They can make ANY arbitrary rule they want including silencing your free speech. You can be banned for ANY REASON THEY WANT.

Everyone knows you are full of it also.

Sad part is at he was sharing good info on other threads. I feel like you all egged him on. How about next time we all just ignore any posts we think are bs..."don't feed the trolls".

I agree with Kevin (hit ignore and you too can be master of your own time as I've said before) but considering who threw the first egg and their motives...we all know where the blame lies. That and well, I just hate to see such good people waste precious time. But I'm an old fart so what do I know

Can't we all just get along ; )
It's pretty easy to just ignore or scroll past someone's post. Like I always did with a certain sassy girls post.

It's still hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that some people talk about gear and tech and method of operation...though they are literally pretending to be someone they are not.

A troll on a prospecting website is one of the weirdest things for me to imagine existing.

It's proven every so often. That they come here. I like to talk about sluicing, digging, researching etc.

Worrying about newbies getting bad info...wanting to argue about "weird" tips.....get caught up.

Well, before I realize that it is starting to smell like the underside of a bridge.

I'm just slow that way!!
