- Every bag contains over 1 gram of gold.
- Wide variety of flake/nugget sizes. The gold typically ranges from #60 mesh to #14 mesh. There will be a mix of fines and flakes.
- 7/10 Difficulty Level - You may need to pan the bag 2-3 times to find all of the smaller fines. #60 mesh is small! (The smaller fines are similar to what one would find naturally in most creeks and rivers. Learning to pan the smaller fines is great for anyone who wants to practice with paydirt before panning "in the wild" but are often missed by new panners). We classify it with 1/4 mesh to remove any large river rocks that are larger than 1/4 inch in size.
- Approximately 1 lb. of dirt in every bag (Most bags will be over 1 lb., but we don't weigh individual bags prior to shipping them, so there may be a little more or a little less than 1 lb. per bag). It is often closer to 1.25 or 1.5 lbs.
- Our paydirt comes from our family gold/platinum claim along the East Fork Lewis River in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, and we mix it with Washington sand to help dry it out. (Both the sand and our paydirt contain naturally occurring placer gold).
A paydirt bag for the serious prospector! A Full Gram bag weighs about 1 lb. and contains over 1 gram of added gold. The added gold will typically range in size from #60 mesh to #14 mesh. Note: #60 mesh gold is VERY small (fits through a screen with 50 holes per square inch, but not 60 holes per square inch) and may need to be panned multiple times if you are a beginner/intermediate gold prospector. If you find less than 1 gram of gold...pan it again! Our gold paydirt comes from our family gold/platinum claim along the East Fork Lewis River in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, and we mix it with Washington sand to help dry it out. (Both the sand and our paydirt contain naturally occurring placer gold). Because our paydirt is unsearched and we want to guarantee gold in every bag, we source gold directly from miners in Alaska and add it to every bag.
