What is Gold Prospecting Concentrate (Paydirt)?

Gold pay dirt concentrates are a great way for people who want to invest in gold without going through the hassle of physically finding it. These concentrates can be bought online and they vary in quality. In this article, we will discuss how to buy gold pay dirt that is high-quality and worth your money!

Gold prospecting concentrates are a mixture of dirt, mud, and sand that contain traces of gold. It can be obtained by panning or sluicing through water. The process involves collecting sand and other materials from the riverbed with a shovel to separate out any rocks or sediment. The remaining material will have an increased concentration of heavy metals like gold because they do not dissolve in water as well as lighter metals like aluminum.

Gold prospecting 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 but plenty are sold in Australia. Dirt may contain treasure such as quartz crystals and agate along with gold flakes that glitter in the sun. Some even come with larger nuggets – which sounds more enticing than buying a raffle ticket doesn’t it?

Why is Gold Prospecting Concentrate called Paydirt?

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. Pay dirt is a term used to describe rocks that have been crushed and milled. It has gold particles throughout the chunk of rock, which can be extracted by panning or sluicing.

What are the benefits of buying Pay Dirt?

The main benefit is not having to worry about finding something – it’s that simple! The best part about buying pay dirt on eBay or Amazon (as long as you’re purchasing from a reputable seller) is there’s little chance of being disappointed because you know what you’re paying upfront; these bags typically include flakes or small chunks of gold as well as quartz crystals and agate which can be really pretty.

Can you make money buying Paydirt?

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.  

The gold panning hobby is very popular and many enthusiasts enjoy it out of sheer curiosity. It’s a fun activity to do with family members or friends, but the real goal, as you might have guessed already, is finding that one golden nugget in the process. 

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..
