In response to a HUGE number of people asking for it, I have created this paydirt bag so my viewers can experience for themselves what I experience when I go out prospecting.
In order to make sure everyone has a great time panning this bag I have added between .9 and 1.2 grams of gold to each bag. This includes at least one nugget and one picker in each bag. This bag of paydirt is guaranteed to contain unsearched pay gravels from 3 of my fan favorite claims, in British Columbia, Canada. (International Orders please read below) Pickerton (known for large pieces of gold) , Thompson (fine gold bot lots of it!) and Trout Creek (Coarse jagged, small but chunky gold). Hopefully you have enjoyed watching me find this gold, now you can find some of my gold yourself.
There might not be exactly 1/2 lbs in this bag, I put two large scoops in each bag and on average, 2 scoops comes out to about 1/2 lbs. (some will have more some will have less) The unsearched material is raw right from the claims so it will be muddy (Fraser river is very muddy gravels) and it will have organics in with it as these claims all have there best pay close to the surface.
No gemstones have been added to this mix. (however there most likely will be natural garnets in the unsearched material)
Proceeds form my paydirt sales go toward production costs of new content for YouTube, Thanks for the support of my channel.
For international orders only:
Due to customs and biosecurity of many countries, we have had to change how we ship our paydirt. Many countries’ biosecurity will not allow soil into their countries but do allow sand and gravel. Because we call this ‘paydirt’, some packages have been confiscated as they see ‘paydirt’ as soil, even though it contains sand and gravel. To prevent this from happening and packages not making it to the customer, for international orders only, we are putting the precious contents (the gold, gems, and heavies) that would typically be added to a ‘paydirt’ bag, in a small bag without sand and gravel added. We will however be adding extra magnetite to mask the contents so that the precious contents are still a surprise. This will be a ‘build your own bag’, as you will need to add sand and gravel to the bag with the precious contents. Extra will be added to these bags to compensate for anything natural that would have been found in the sand and gravel in the original ‘paydirt’. These changes were made in October 2024 due to heightened biosecurity in the USA, blocking many orders. This information will be posted in the website, the product description, the product gallery, and the package itself.
International Disclaimer: It is the buyers responsibility to ensure that this product is acceptable to be imported into your country.
Domestic (Canadian) Orders:
Bags will be mixed and shipped as normal as no customs or biosecurity is needed on domestic orders.

I spied a small nugget while still in the bad. Fun mix as this had both chunks and flakes. I classified and panned the larger chunks. Then played with my blue bowl settings with real gold and found specs so small only a snuffer would capture them. Nice to see after many tries with local dirt that looks good with black sand and mica but no gold. One of the better “fundirt” bags I’ve purchased.

Worth the money, unlike most paydirt sellers, you are guaranteed pickers at the minimum. I had received just over a gram, half of that were small nuggets, a few pickers and a bunch of fine gold. Great way to practice panning for the bigger gold.

Shipping came ultra fast , difficult fine flour gold and 2 very nice pickers. Hours of fun, I loved the challenge. Real dirt, no home Depot blond sand here. If you prefer the easy kitty cat litter sand then this is not for you! Real dirt from a real claim! Will buy again! Dan’s the Man!

Fun for the whole family

Just bought the bag as my first paydirt purchase. The shipping got it to me 2 days early and panning it was AWESOME.
Every spoonful was revealing good flakes and good flour gold to practice on (as the state I live in has almost exclusively flour gold). Also, don’t underestimate how chunky some of the small gold is. The pickers and nuggets? Awesome. Elated with how many there were.
After the dirt dries out I’m going to mix the gold back in with it for many more practice sessions.
Dried and weighed I got 0.923 grams and I’m tickled pink with that.

This was the first time I have panned gold and it was totally worth it! Could not be more happy with the product. Got 1.10 grams total, one nice picker, decent flakes and some flour gold. It was a super fun challenge! Definitely buying again.

Thank you Dan! .94g, just as promised. Big .41g nugget. Great learning experience. I had to pan it twice to ensure I found it all (missed three flakes the first time). For the first pan I have ever done, it was great to see so much gold! Your YouTube videos gave me the a solid starting point to get that technique down. Already recommended this to a few friends.

loved working with the chunky gold my norm is Red Deer River super fine flower gold. I’ve dried Dan’s dirt and remixed several times, the gift that keeps on giving again and again. Just purchased 6 bags of Christmas dirt to give away as gifts to my gold friends.
