Paydirt concentrate bags may include: Gold nuggets, gold pickers, gold flakes and gold fines! Different suppliers make products with separate terms, most are sold from the USA and some even include larger nuggets – so it is more like buying a raffle ticket.
This North American term ‘pay dirt’ dates from the 1850s, during the California Gold Rush. When miners found an area rich with gold ore, they would say they’d hit pay dirt.
It depends on the generosity of the producer, and possibly some luck. Paydirt businesses have to make a profit in order to have a successful business. They have to create a business model that makes them money. A bag of paydirt that guarantees a gram of gold usually costs anywhere between $60-70 dollars. You need to do the sums.
I suspect that some detectorists buy paydirt to show their partners after a long day’s detecting, where they want to appear luckier and more successful.. so they can go on more trips in future..
