Nugget Reserve Gold Paydirt Clunker Panning Pay Dirt Bag – Gold Prospecting Concentrate

This gold pay dirt has been awesome. This was not the motherload bag but really enjoyed doing this with the kids. My 5-year-old loved finding the gold and we will be buying a lot more very soon. This pay dirt is great for beginners and people who want to enjoy finding the treasure but does not have the means and equipment to do so. very easy to pan very noticeable gold. you definitely get great value for your money it might not be exact from the gold but definitely in the fun and family time. Was priceless seeing my son's face when he saw color and is now hooked. Thanks again Nugget Reserve for this experience.

I’m an experienced panner used to flour gold in black sand, so this bag was not a challenge whatsoever-which is fine. It wasn’t advertised to be. It had very little heavy material, seemed mostly like a tiny scoop of play sand with a pinch of gold flake added. I’m not sure why it was called clunker. I ended up with 0.03g of gold and I ran through it multiple times to ensure I hadn’t missed anything. It seems like the good bags went out years ago to get the high reviews and since then they’ve been sending trash. Terrible ROI compared to other companies. Can’t recommend them.

I am fairly new to panning, but I know enough to be efficient at it. I classified the clunker bag that I purchased and was pleasantly surprised at the amount of paydirt that fell through to the bottom two tiers, while sitting on tier 3, amongst some pebbles, lay the nicest nugget I’ve picked so far! The second to last tier had a couple good pickers as well after running it through the pan, as well as a decent amount of quartz rocks and other gems that I cannot identify. The final and smallest tier which contained the black sand, was fun to pan through and very good practice. There were 8 nice little places gold flakes and some flour gold. The dirt was not the dirtiest I have panned through, but if you have a small tub you will probably want to plan on changing it soon after, for clarity purposes. Will purchase again

No gold

I think this is play sand with gold added. Not really “paydirt”. Very easy to pan. Return was what I would expect for the price. Panned out to .13grams. Was good for teaching 2 kids about panning. They loved it.

Gold is roughly 40 dollars per gram. I bought 2 of these, in order to average out the gold per bag. I obviously didn't get one of the great lottery bags, together, I panned just under .5 gram. So that's about 20 bucks, top dollar price for this gold. Don't get me wrong, they did have 1 decent sized nugget in each, which represented probably 20 percent of the gold found in each pan. If you are getting into gold panning and want some practice, enjoy the thrill of the hunt, these are a great way to go. Or, you might save a few bucks and buy one of their cheaper bags, still find gold, and still have fun. At over a 60 dollar combined cost, with a 33% return on investment, I don't recommend that you purchase these if you enjoy the idea of coming even remotely close to breaking even. To make matters more complicated, this company does offer an incentive to rate them 5 stars, they will give you a small pay dirt bag with your next order. So read these 5 star reviews with a little skepticism. You have to come close to 1 gram each bag to break even, when you consider that this gold wouldn't be at the top dollar market value, since it's not been purified to 24 karat. I am not an expert gold miner or anything like that. I have purchased several different brands here, and direct from various web sites, and I have to say, this was one of the poorest return on investments I've seen so far. Bottom line, you'll have fun panning for gold, and this bag is no different that the rest, with the exception that it costs 10 bucks more than your average bag. You will get a decent sized small, but heavy nugget. Unless your win the "lottery", that is, you get a bag where they added extra gold, you don't come close to getting your money's worth of gold. They say, if you want to get your moneys worth, but a gold coin or whatever. Ask yourself, does a company with a great product, need to offer an incentive for users to give them great reviews, is it honest? If they can't be honest in one area, are they being honest in how much gold they actually add in each bag or that they even have "motherlode" bags?

Literally one flake of gold and it was a to small to even pick up with tweezers this is like the fourth kind of paydirt I've bought and have been highly disappointed every time save ur money

It’s a solid brand, decent amount of pickers per bag, but then again sometimes you hit and sometimes you miss.
