First all " bukets" are seeded period stuff is classified to hell and back and you will never get your " moneys worth" you may as well have just flat out burned a thousand bucks which is honestly fucked considering how many folx are in pretty dire straights also all that " powder" flying has potential " flour gold " so you should never ever dry pan/ classifying like you did as you will lose gold given its specific gravity of 19.32....always submerge gold when classifying/panning For the reccord I spent 4 months in colorado gold panning/ camping back on my 21st birthday and came out with over 3lbs of gold and silver as well as gems/ mineral specimens which is by far the best way to go instead of this rip off scam crap...
P.p.s. all your attempted justifications and excuses are for naught like somany others you fell for this scam/ con. I highly encourage sllothers not too...
I don't think they have the market cornered here. There are a bunch of outfits doing this now. Why couldn't you (or I, for that matter) be the next one?
Watching this in the fall of 2024, it nostalgic to watch these old videos and see how far you have come! Great job Shane! My son and I love your videos we watch them during the winter every winter since he was a little boy.
It's simple. not counting the gold, they sold you about 500 dollars worth of dirt. im sure they knew exactly how much gold there was in there. genius marketing from their part.
EastSideRides in real life 1 ton of gold rich sand contains probably few dollars of gold so they have to put some nuggets in there. If it was so easy to find such an amount of gold the price would be $0.01 per ounce of gold.
@Adequate Bros. The House Always Wins also it's not even fucking gambling it's literally a scam, you're paying $1k for a bag of dirty you'll never make more than you pay, they filter the big nuggets and leave small ones
If I bought 1000 dollars worth of dirt I'd do the whole process of straining and panning a few times just to make sure you've got everything, it's always good to be safe than sorry!
I keep all the tailings and black sand, which I plan on processing again using mercury and nitric acid to extract all the microscopic (and flakes i missed) of gold. There will be a video coming up for that, Thanks for watching
I’ve never even touched a gold pan but I love watching your videos. The philosophy of buying buckets of dirt and discovering tiny bits of gold is quite exciting. You Rock.
this screams of a scam. i don't think there is any way you legitimately get that amount of nuggets and larger flakes with practically no fine particles. thank you for sharing so anyone watching can avoid this.
@@timothyhinton5665 Every company, and every seller needs to make a profit. The thing is that the profit should not be as big as is in this case. The profit is more than how much is actually worth. So, maybe you need to think before you speak or just shut up because (I need to tell you), you're an idiot.
@@timothyhinton5665 This video shows that this is a huge scam, since if it was truly a bucket filled with dirt from a digsite, you'd get way more micros and different sizes. No way in hell can they guarantee you only getting nuggets in a nugget bucket, and barely any flakes. So they probably dug out some dirt from some low-gold rated digsite, put in 9 nuggest and some small flakes, then they send it off. Huge scam as these should be filled with prime dirt from a good site with a randomized chance, not 450 dollars after hours of filtering it only to find big nuggets and flakes that someone threw in there.
Yeah it’s a Scam if you want to make money but it’s not to make money out of it’s just for fun when you don’t have time to go anywhere. even the website says for fun only not for profit.
That seemed like a pricey experiment - with a bigger loss than I anticipated you would have . Cool video - seem like it was a lot of fun -appreciate you taking the time👍
Thank you for exposing this scam for what it is and taking the loss for the people who may have been interested in buying Pay Dirt from that company. I have a feeling they raised the price $200 trying to recover their loses for this brainstorm of an idea.And kinda hoping so too. Great exposure video,,Cheers.
Hey... thank you for buying this at a grand...and the video. It's like we got to go through it with you.. I could never afford that. But have bought some pay dirt probably around $50 bucks in the past and also had flour gold added to it with some Alaska gold nuggets added.. it probably cost me around $200.00 I wanted the real stuff added so that I could also practice panning and separating the flour or fine gold... But this was fantastic...it was like a grab bag... And you got the fun of separating it... Wish I could buy like ten of them....and could spend a good amount of time doing it the same way you did bro....thanks again..😀
Sorry bout the $ loss, but your videos are the best bare none! You _constantly_ remind me why I subbed to this channel a long while ago in the first place! And, as a person, you also ROCK!
Hey man thanks, I do try to make intereting videos for everyone. Also it's cool about the $ loss, It's worth it to me to inform everyone about how these buckets actually are. I just took one for the team.
Don't get me wrong. I think you handled this vid with talent as far as not bashing the product for your loss. Im talking about the companys that just rip the hell outta our hopes and dreams and even fun. Cuz its like yur all amped up to find ya a good size nugget. And the more time yur spose to be havin fun doin it the more ya get bummed and the more ya get pissed off knowing that they have this all figured out to not just making a bit of profit but to know they got it figured out to where they make ten fold on a person. It's just a shame that this world is all about the coin to where its gettin to be paying for fun like this sux. Cuz If i would have ever bought a bucket of this dream smashing fun dirt bucket and ever come across one of the owners. I would punch him right the kisser and roll his ass right there and then. Then i woulda kept kickin him in his ass until he cried "Uncle" while sucking his thumb with his pants down to his ankles running down the skreet sayin, "I'm a fun stealer,".. "I'm a fun stealer" over and over....
Clear Adventure , LMFAO gold will always be worth something while the paper money that is supposed to replace it so they can keep it hahaha know life before saying stuff aye mate.
I've never done any gold prospecting or panning. But while you were sifting out the different classifications of Lynch dirt, I couldn't help but think... NO One just gives away gold. Period. I watched you work and thought about the Lynch business of selling buckets of dirt for $1,000. And my immediate conclusion even before seeing half this video was that you will likely get possibly about $300 ish worth of gold. Why? Because Lynch ain't stupid. I have No doubt they carefully choose the gold you would get and mix it into a clean bucket of dirt. They knew Exactly how much gold you would get. AND... they knew just how much profit they would make selling you a bucket of dirt for $1,000. Why? Because it's a business and they intend to make a profit. On you, they made about $550. Oh well. :(
Agreed, I’m sure each bucket get a few little nuggets in them added. I’m sure when they first started out they “planted” a bucket and had a big news story about how a guy got $15k off a $1000 bucket of dirt
I would assume they don't just go out to a freaking creek bed and find some black dirt without checking it out first.And make sure they didn't mess anything big but make sure some small pieces are left in the bag to find!
Actually... They made $1000 minus packaging and shipping... Since they own the dirt already. Wouldn't be as profitable of they sifted through it themselves because then you have to factor in the cost of the dredgers, sifters, people. It's more profitable for them to just scoop it as is into buckets and hope there is at least some gold in the buckets.
I’d rather go gold panning myself, than to pay $1000 for a bucket of dirt from a company that controls the amount of gold you get, because I can bet you that they check for gold themselves then leave a few bits and stick it in dirt and sell it off for $1000. Like to agree with me
I think after watching the video and the sort out, they are seeding buckets of clean dirt rather than it being random. With 9 nuggets that size there should be more fine gold material in there to pan out in my opinion. Feel like these types of items are scams and nobody ever gets a profit off of bing the buckets regardless of what price point a company chooses or weight because they are filling with cleaned dirt and rock then just dropping in whatever gold they want to make it seem legit.
If you didn't gain financially from this at least it's worth a bucket load of good karma for the next life. Good on you for showing a lot of people not to bother with this. Much respect to you.
And yet another reason why winter sucks. Can't get to the river because it's too darn cold so, what do we do? Buy pay dirt!!! Man, that was a bit of a loss! That sucks! Nice gold though!! As for it being 24k, I find that very hard to believe. Raw gold is never 24k, so I've been told by a very knowledgeable geologist / gold miner / prospector. Like your videos. Good content! Thanks for sharing. This is my newest channel that I needed to get up and running. Reason? Well, it should be apparent if clicked on.
This sure makes me feel like one smart cookie! I bought 7 grams of gold from a guy I know who recovers it from computer components at below spot price and have been cutting, hammering, filing and sawing it down into all sizes, from 1/2g nugget to flour and shapes: like flat, wire, round and jagged. I figure to mix it with various common materials and perfect my sluice/high banker angle and flow as well as my panning skills and speed in a closed environment. Plus the fun of it! BTW, Although informative, this wasn't my favorite video. I missed the excitement of discovery - watching you pan it, not to mention Krusty Rusty!
Very funny seeing you trying to use a different magnet and then going back to the screw driver magnet that you still use. Fun to go back and watch an old video of yours
At least you tried it. I've always wondered how much gold is in these online pay dirt companies. This was a fun video, informative and well done. Thanks
Nope nope. I wouldn’t pay for it. Losing your butt on the one but I most definitely appreciate showing people like myself before we actually spend the money. Big thanks awesome videos man. Keep it up
For goodness sake people...if you want gold, and you are going to spend that much money, simply buy some gold coins and get your money's worth. If you want gold in its native form, buy some real nuggets on ebay, etc. These paydirt companies rig every single unit so you get some gold, but not too much! After all, they are trying to make money, not lose it. What all these paydirt videos demonstrate is that you are lucky to break even, at best...if you are Extremely lucky!!! Stop paying the people at Lynch Mining you hard earned money! As a prospector and miner, it is simply impossibe for that much gold to appear in one bucket of dirt. Its COMMON SENSE people!!! Good video never the less and thumbs up.
I was bummed out seeing you take a loss, was really hoping you would pull in a nice profit. You did a great video with a lot of detail. Most importantly, you probably help a lot of people from losing money to Lynch Mining. Take care and again, Thanks! :-)
Really appriciate the video. Thought about doing one of these and I think it's better to save the cash and take a vacation. Let's be honest that was a rip off. Thank you for the video sir.
Me and my daughter's ..aka twins....we're going gold mining because of your videos....bought a couple pay dirt bags to keep em busy to sprinkle in the bucket...keep up the videos man ..esp in a time like this country is in
I am making no comment on the quantity of gold versus the upfront price. Nice video. Very methodical approach to classifying what size and how much etc. Very informative. I have recently taken up amateur prospecting and I have paid membership dues to allow for access to established claims. I am not associated with any paydirt sites... I have bought from various sites, but none from Lynch. Personally, I find panning most paydirt the results feel fake. Very cool to find color, but the size totals are always skewed to one dominant classification size... Having struggled to just see flakes in the pan after several test buckets. Regardless of what anyone thinks, probably from processing salted paydirt. To find this much gold on one prospecting outing would represent an epic day... We are all consumers at heart, and I hear reference to the value in weight of the gold compared to market price... I think of it somewhat differently. This kind of gold is not going to jump into your pan, you would have to work very hard or be incredibly lucky to find this much gold on a single outing. This is approximately what it would cost for one prospecting outing. Amortize the equipment costs over multiple outings. Cost of Gas for day trip $50, Food for day trip (2 people) $75, Claim membership 1 year $50 to $80, Drywasher $400 to $1200, or Sluice $200, Shovels $30, Picks $40, Buckets $25, gloves, boots, knee pads $100, Easyup Shade $125. This is all sunk costs before I can process 1 pan. There is no guarantee when I go out that I am going to find even 1 flake of gold... I guess that's why they call it prospecting, and not guaranteed return on investment... I do it because it is emotionally rewarding to me. I get to spend time with my family, doing something that interests all of us... Surely that beats sitting at home staring at cellphone screens... Just my 2 cents... Thanks for the cool video.
I have a feeling the nuggets where put into the bucket with a profit of close to thousand bucks to them why wouldn't they if your purchasing this to with your kids or a one off thing for fun that's fine I suppose but it's definitely not lucrative I live in Perth western Australia which is bout 5 hour drive from a place called kalgoolie all you need is a metal detector and you'll find some huge nuggets
Thank you. I added a placemark on my Google maps of Kalgoolie and inserted your comment into the notes for a future adventure. Any other info that would be helpful on the trip? Access permit info? Best locations / off limit areas?
All these people claiming it’s a scam and the company is a crook. NO ONE IS MAKING YOU BUY THEIR SHIT...great vids man been binging them recently. Really impressed at the New York Diamond exchange sidewalk scraping to be honest lol. I was very pleasantly surprised to stumble onto your channel!
you should try nifer1974 on ebay paydirt(mile high prospectors) lives in florissant and sells what he finds. ROI is way better than all you have done. Good honest people.
It's all good, not really a rip off since the time and effort of obtaining this kind of gold would cost at LEAST $500 - probably way more..but I appreciate you watching and commenting!
KleshGuitars there is some that is I've ordered a few for 60$ and 100$ over and some had added gold in it and I had about over 160$ worth of gold it depends on location and company.
I guess I better subscribe then, lol. If nuggets have cool shape, like a bear, heart, etc., then they dramatically rise in price for jewelry sake. Enjoyed the video!
I like your honesty in the videos you make . Your just a guy having fun like most of the people who are doing the same thing. I got into this as a hobby as a kid always wanting to see what was under me. If any buried treasure or just finding gold the fun in doing so. Keep up the great work and great videos
It should have at least 700 worth of gold WITHOUT THE NEW HIGHER prices....I agree with you.... thanks for the review. This is why we are your fans...priceless info :D
Longer videos are great if there is work to do. I enjoyed! Can't wait to send you some of my custom paydirt, should be ready by the end of summer 2020. Thanks for sharing this MEGA bucket video.
just wanted to say, you're so professional in this, dunno if it is ur work or hobby, but you got me dude, am so into such hobby from now on, great video ! sorry for the money loss tho, i hope the views on this video will pay up
I think that’s actually NOT bad. Think about how much it would cost and how long it would take to go up there and get that much gold. That said, I cannot WAIT to get out by Pitkin and prospect! Any advice/ideas for that area?
Exactly. They're a business and have to make money, so I can't say they "Suck" or anything. However, there's plenty of other companies (that i've reviewed) that yield much more gold per dollar spent. I was never over in Pitkin county prospecting, but I'd say just bring your shovel, classifier, 2 buckets, maybe a crevice tool and a small scoop with you gold pan and you're good to go! Thanks for watching!
This just popped up in my feed again, so I watched it again knowing that you were getting hosed...hope your patreon is making it all worthwhile. best of luck
What do I think of that, well it shows you someone just found a way to make a lot of money out of a little gold. best thing is that you hang on to that gold until the prices go up. At least you have not had to spend all day mucking around in cold water a long way from home having spent a lot on gas. Some prospectors do this for years and just find a few grains.
Man 1.3 million views. My man hitting them big numbers! One question, though it's an easy one. Did this come in a box or did they send just the bucket? Another great one Shane. Sry about the return. Till next one my friend.
My dad loves panning for gold and he’s found some in quartz in Southern California also. Living in Missouri he can’t do it much here. Was thinking of getting him one of these buckets for his birthday, is the process of panning it out somewhat the same? I don’t know much about gold. Would this be a good gift?
(RISK NEEDS A PRICE. It’s Time to Put a Price on the Risk of Mining Disasters. *You lost about half your money.)* A much better idea is to purchase about $1000 worth of placer gold and then seed it (add it) into about 5 gallons of sand-gravel yourself, then mix it all up in a wheel barrow with a shovel and a little water. Run this material on a system (Gold Hog, Gold Cube, expanded metal over miners moss, etc.) where you can save (catch) your tailings. There you have your fun with sluicing or highbanking with almost *no* gold or money loss, with maybe a very small loss in the cost of gasoline or electric power.
KleshGuitars -- Yes, beats me why people order heavy gravel over the mail to lose money! Instead seed (add) your own gold to gravel at home with zero loss in money except for a miniscule electric or gasoline cost!
Wow love the video! I am a brand new subscriber and I this is my first video I’ve seen of yours. I am already addicted now. I’m sure the more of your videos I watch the more questions about panning and why you want to separate out the “black sand” or the “magnetic stuff”? Does that sell too? Also do you sell the left over rocks and sand or do you just dump them outside some where?
Hi Ash Ley, thanks for getting addicted to my show LOL! So the black sand I keep in a separate container and then I process it with chemicals when I get a lot of it to extract the microscopic gold. After that it goes to waste recycling. The left over rocks and sand (also called tailings in the mining world) I pan through again to check if I missed any gold. After that , I just return it to the river. I do those things about once a year. You can see the process for both in the following two videos: ruclips.net/video/G7j9-d2hWfY/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/EsnAM2jeFuM/видео.html Thanks for watching
Ironically lol you have demonstrated magnificently EXACTLY why he said a weak magnet. It's all in the details. I know , I do that too...sometimes you have to slow down to get finished sooner.
Hey I know it's a year later but have you bought another bucket to compare amounts and prices? Like is it always gonna average out to $300 or $400 profit or can you get kore
Hey Joe thanks for the comment. So although this video has paid for itself many times over due to ad revenue, It's hard to spent almost a grand on something that was so disappointing the first time around. If I did buy another "nugget bucket", I think i'd do a different one, and have it shipped to an anonymous person, because Lynch Mining now knows who I am. I wouldn't want to get a "gold heavy" bucket to be fair to everyone watching. Good question though, and again I appreciate the comment and view!
You should try using a magnet from the back of a speaker. They are super strong and perfect for this. I used to remove black sand from desert sand in Texas. Prolly not good to use all the time but worth seeing. You might be able to fabricate a sleeve for it. 😉

Quick hint for the magnets, run the dirt through a funnel past them.
First all " bukets" are seeded period stuff is classified to hell and back and you will never get your " moneys worth" you may as well have just flat out burned a thousand bucks which is honestly fucked considering how many folx are in pretty dire straights also all that " powder" flying has potential " flour gold " so you should never ever dry pan/ classifying like you did as you will lose gold given its specific gravity of 19.32....always submerge gold when classifying/panning
For the reccord I spent 4 months in colorado gold panning/ camping back on my 21st birthday and came out with over 3lbs of gold and silver as well as gems/ mineral specimens which is by far the best way to go instead of this rip off scam crap...
P.p.s. all your attempted justifications and excuses are for naught like somany others you fell for this scam/ con. I highly encourage sllothers not too...
Nice SirAzraielBridger, Cool story!
Thanks SirAzraielBridger for watching!
I wish I thought of getting a bucket, sticking some dirt in it and adding a couple of cheap nuggets to it then selling it off for $1300
Me too, it's a crazy idea but I guess it's working for them. Too bad I didn't think of it! Thanks for watching
I don't think they have the market cornered here. There are a bunch of outfits doing this now. Why couldn't you (or I, for that matter) be the next one?
Lol same
It’s just like a gambling thing that’s what they want you to think anyway
I agree
Watching this in the fall of 2024, it nostalgic to watch these old videos and see how far you have come! Great job Shane! My son and I love your videos we watch them during the winter every winter since he was a little boy.
Awesome to hear thanks for watching 👍
Before you guys comment saying this is a scam he is doing this for fun, not just for the gold
And somehow this guy still hearts comments..
It's a still a scam basically. That's why people that can afford to do this make videos about it to show it's not worth it
That's some extremely expensive fun
It's simple. not counting the gold, they sold you about 500 dollars worth of dirt. im sure they knew exactly how much gold there was in there. genius marketing from their part.
Thanks Cesar E. Orozco for watching!
youre the only one who makes a bucket of dirt interesting
Well thank you
@@Klesh oh yeah yeah
G9 Ranjiplays 😂😂😂
i've heard people joke about selling dirt to people but i never thought i would ever see it. the Lynch guys are geniuses.
Have you heard of a pet rock??
That gold looks too clean, looks like they grabbed some dirt and threw in some gold and shook it up and sent it lol. Good scam they got going on.
Thanks I agree it's obviously just some dirt with some pre-weighed (small amount) of gold they threw in. Thanks for watching
Note to self don't spend $1000 on a bucket of dirt
EastSideRides in real life 1 ton of gold rich sand contains probably few dollars of gold so they have to put some nuggets in there. If it was so easy to find such an amount of gold the price would be $0.01 per ounce of gold.
@Adequate Bros. The House Always Wins also it's not even fucking gambling it's literally a scam, you're paying $1k for a bag of dirty you'll never make more than you pay, they filter the big nuggets and leave small ones
How is that a scam?
Cashier. "Cash or card."
Me. "Neither. I'm a simple girl. Y'all accept dirt.

Get a magnet and run it over the black sand. It pulls all the magnetic stuff out. Its pretty cool too
he lost money tho?

Tigglet: exactly!!
Send them a thank you note for the 4 oz nugget you found. Hoping that they crap themselves would be partial reimbursement
Yeah i should LOL Thanks for watching! -KleshGuitars
Thats a great idea lol
Lol
They KNOW there is no 4oz nugget
YoYo Maa thats my thought too i think they start with a set amount, mix it in and mark it up.
That seemed like a pricey experiment - with a bigger loss than I anticipated you would have .

It's a bigger loss than I expected but hey, nobody gets rich giving away money!

Dude they mine the gold then get a bucket of regular dirt and put 10 grams in it so they know exactly how much is in each bucket
Definitely. Such a rip off. Id be surprised if anyone has ever got more then what they paid for.
Yeah, this seems ridiculous to me
Neighbors are like “here we go again with this guy and his dirt”. ;)
Does the bucket contain McNuggets aswell
Thanks Guy Called Finn for watching!
Need to know. Asking for a friend
You wd for sure find a thousand bucks worth of mcnuggets before u find 1,000 in gold.
😂
I turn mcnasties into mcnuggets lol.... just saying. Next time thru the drive thru, ask for a mcnasty...👍🇺🇸
I think after watching the video and the sort out, they are seeding buckets of clean dirt rather than it being random. With 9 nuggets that size there should be more fine gold material in there to pan out in my opinion.
Feel like these types of items are scams and nobody ever gets a profit off of bing the buckets regardless of what price point a company chooses or weight because they are filling with cleaned dirt and rock then just dropping in whatever gold they want to make it seem legit.
I agree forr sure. At no point during processing this bucket did I think it was natural. Thanks for watching!
I can see why you'd feel like that. Thanks for the honest comment
LOL thanks man
If you didn't gain financially from this at least it's worth a bucket load of good karma for the next life. Good on you for showing a lot of people not to bother with this. Much respect to you.
Stigstigster lmao next life.
I never thought I would sit here and watch someone look for gold etc. its pretty cool tbh, watched a bunch of your videos!
Screw those 7 people that thumbs down your video’s are amazing
Thanks Mesh!
That was likely the Lynch mining crew, including the cook.
370 now lol
Love your videos man, thank you for putting in the time and effort to inform all of the viewers.
one of my first video Klesh videos i watched! always "Nice" to rewatch
And yet another reason why winter sucks. Can't get to the river because it's too darn cold so, what do we do? Buy pay dirt!!!
Man, that was a bit of a loss! That sucks! Nice gold though!! As for it being 24k, I find that very hard to believe. Raw gold is never 24k, so I've been told by a very knowledgeable geologist / gold miner / prospector.
Like your videos. Good content! Thanks for sharing.
This is my newest channel that I needed to get up and running.
Reason? Well, it should be apparent if clicked on.
Thanks for watching!
Your Welcome!
river nuggets are aways eighteen K.never heard of any twenty four except for flour gold(dust)
For all you people who are bemoaning the lost $500ish, Klesh is doing all right for this video. At 320,000+ views he got his money's worth.
I agree Chuck Davis, and thanks for watching!
This sure makes me feel like one smart cookie!
I bought 7 grams of gold from a guy I know who recovers it from computer components at below spot price and have been cutting, hammering, filing and sawing it down into all sizes, from 1/2g nugget to flour and shapes: like flat, wire, round and jagged.
I figure to mix it with various common materials and perfect my sluice/high banker angle and flow as well as my panning skills and speed in a closed environment.
Plus the fun of it!
BTW, Although informative, this wasn't my favorite video. I missed the excitement of discovery - watching you pan it, not to mention Krusty Rusty!
Very nice!
I thought the coolest part was the magnitite!
That's my favorite part too :D Thanks for watching
i got dust in my eye just watching this video
Lol thanks for watching
That was your minds eye, you’ll be ok.
Very funny seeing you trying to use a different magnet and then going back to the screw driver magnet that you still use. Fun to go back and watch an old video of yours
I wonder if the shipping opens up you package and asks "why did this guy pay so much for dirt"?
haha yeah
When you buy lucky charms and only eat the marshmallows
Eazy Breezy105 best comment ever
At least you tried it. I've always wondered how much gold is in these online pay dirt companies. This was a fun video, informative and well done. Thanks
Thanks Philipino for watching!
Nope nope. I wouldn’t pay for it. Losing your butt on the one but I most definitely appreciate showing people like myself before we actually spend the money. Big thanks awesome videos man. Keep it up
Thanks glad you enjoyed it
Hello there. The bags from Lynch Mining seemed to have a better return than this bucket did. Thanks for sharing this. Have an awesome day!
Yeah the bags were way better on returns, thanks for watching Sparrow!
For goodness sake people...if you want gold, and you are going to spend that much money, simply buy some gold coins and get your money's worth. If you want gold in its native form, buy some real nuggets on ebay, etc. These paydirt companies rig every single unit so you get some gold, but not too much! After all, they are trying to make money, not lose it. What all these paydirt videos demonstrate is that you are lucky to break even, at best...if you are Extremely lucky!!! Stop paying the people at Lynch Mining you hard earned money! As a prospector and miner, it is simply impossibe for that much gold to appear in one bucket of dirt. Its COMMON SENSE people!!! Good video never the less and thumbs up.
Thanks Dave Cohen for watching!
Hmmm... I am imagining if dirt and rocks switch places to gold
The dirt and rock would be so rare to find lmao😂😂
My criminal mind sees Snidely Whiplash salting the mine.
LOL
I was bummed out seeing you take a loss, was really hoping you would pull in a nice profit. You did a great video with a lot of detail. Most importantly, you probably help a lot of people from losing money to Lynch Mining. Take care and again, Thanks! :-)
Thanks Lastman Standing glad you enjoyed it!
Really appriciate the video. Thought about doing one of these and I think it's better to save the cash and take a vacation. Let's be honest that was a rip off. Thank you for the video sir.
Yeah for sure! You can take a vacation to Alaska and find your own gold for the same price! Thanks for watching -KleshGuitars
Did you really paid 1k of dirt 😐 I have dirt in my yard bud for free
Yep, I did! LOL
Andres Garcia hahaha
But does your dirt guaranteed have at least a little gold in it?
Rhys Tal Cernunnos yep.
@@vannicaruana1142 mine has a lot of good
Me and my daughter's ..aka twins....we're going gold mining because of your videos....bought a couple pay dirt bags to keep em busy to sprinkle in the bucket...keep up the videos man ..esp in a time like this country is in
That is awesome!
The gold is premeasured,. They take a bucket of dirt and put some flakes in em.
Like makin bubble hash with a 5 bag screen kit
Wow, now I know the rush and amazingly hyped feeling when finding gold from your video, that's feel suprisingly satisfying
Thanks waler glad you enjoyed it!
I think you got the shaft, to put it mildly. :-( Great video though.
Oh yeah for sure! Now we know what's in these buckets - thanks for watching Shirl
Shirl Bussman iiiii
You really think the miners are going to let gold rich dirt out of their sight? LOL!
As always great video klesh
Sounds like they are on to a good earner. They probably know a bucket won’t contain $1000 of gold
UK Explortaion but their billfold does.
I am making no comment on the quantity of gold versus the upfront price. Nice video. Very methodical approach to classifying what size and how much etc. Very informative. I have recently taken up amateur prospecting and I have paid membership dues to allow for access to established claims. I am not associated with any paydirt sites... I have bought from various sites, but none from Lynch. Personally, I find panning most paydirt the results feel fake. Very cool to find color, but the size totals are always skewed to one dominant classification size... Having struggled to just see flakes in the pan after several test buckets. Regardless of what anyone thinks, probably from processing salted paydirt. To find this much gold on one prospecting outing would represent an epic day... We are all consumers at heart, and I hear reference to the value in weight of the gold compared to market price... I think of it somewhat differently. This kind of gold is not going to jump into your pan, you would have to work very hard or be incredibly lucky to find this much gold on a single outing. This is approximately what it would cost for one prospecting outing. Amortize the equipment costs over multiple outings. Cost of Gas for day trip $50, Food for day trip (2 people) $75, Claim membership 1 year $50 to $80, Drywasher $400 to $1200, or Sluice $200, Shovels $30, Picks $40, Buckets $25, gloves, boots, knee pads $100, Easyup Shade $125. This is all sunk costs before I can process 1 pan. There is no guarantee when I go out that I am going to find even 1 flake of gold... I guess that's why they call it prospecting, and not guaranteed return on investment... I do it because it is emotionally rewarding to me. I get to spend time with my family, doing something that interests all of us... Surely that beats sitting at home staring at cellphone screens... Just my 2 cents... Thanks for the cool video.
Thanks for the epic comment and the input. Glad you enjoyed the video !
Would you like to buy a pet rock from me...it's only $450.00...
Sure if it will make a video with 1M + views!
my pet rock knows how to break a window
Lol
@@Klesh no doubt
I have a feeling the nuggets where put into the bucket with a profit of close to thousand bucks to them why wouldn't they if your purchasing this to with your kids or a one off thing for fun that's fine I suppose but it's definitely not lucrative
I live in Perth western Australia which is bout 5 hour drive from a place called kalgoolie all you need is a metal detector and you'll find some huge nuggets
Thank you. I added a placemark on my Google maps of Kalgoolie and inserted your comment into the notes for a future adventure. Any other info that would be helpful on the trip? Access permit info? Best locations / off limit areas?
Natalie Luders I live in Sydney and I have been there
Australia trip (Melbourne/Victoria) is planned for Late Feb-Early March 2019!
Maybe im a idiot but common sense tells me shouldn't there have been a ton more gold flake n there???
240% interest per annum over 2.5 years isn't too bad. What a good investment! You do great videos!
Totally agree!
You know people like these vids because there are 20 times as many view on the video as subscribers on the channel
One video a year Every year for 11 years well there just so much time to waste setting around all day waiting on my welfare check to come.
You might’ve been better off if you had just bought $1000 worth of gold instead of buying $1000 worth of paydirt they did not equal $1000 in gold
you spelled "Definitely would've been better off" wrong, thanks for watching!
Watching these videos is almost as good as panning it ourselves, we’re with you all the way...
Thanks Gary n Doris Lawson glad you enjoyed it!
It's not worth it not even remotely alot better dirt out there bad company I never heardanyone doing good with them
I did OK with the black label paydirt, everything else was really not a great return. Fun though, for all of it!
a scam of course...Well played Lynch haha. Didn't see that coming...
All these people claiming it’s a scam and the company is a crook. NO ONE IS MAKING YOU BUY THEIR SHIT...great vids man been binging them recently. Really impressed at the New York Diamond exchange sidewalk scraping to be honest lol. I was very pleasantly surprised to stumble onto your channel!
I agree James Diamond, and thanks for watching!
"We'll do it dry."
Probably the best scam in the world
Thank you for testing this for everyone. You probably saved some people a lot of money.
Thanks Jennifer Grow glad you enjoyed it!
Well I’m sure as hell not buying that.
Smart choice
Shotgunsam 23 lmao
Shotgunsam 23 you nay sayers need to read he made $500.00 profit the dirt was free.
I'll just buy 1 Troy ounce of gold if I had $1500
Good Idea amihan99! Thanks for watching!
amihan99 if I had 1500 dollars I’d buy another gun.
Your panning station has improved greatly over the years
I've been using the same one for years, but this old one is actually my current coffee table
you should try nifer1974 on ebay paydirt(mile high prospectors) lives in florissant and sells what he finds. ROI is way better than all you have done. Good honest people.
Oh nice ill check it out and get a sample!
It should be called the fuckit bucketit company? shame they ripped you off ;(
It's all good, not really a rip off since the time and effort of obtaining this kind of gold would cost at LEAST $500 - probably way more..but I appreciate you watching and commenting!
You seem to get more views the cheaper the paydirt bucket is. Imagine if you just stole a bucket of paydirt...Great work shane addictive viewing
Not worth it
I agree
KleshGuitars there is some that is I've ordered a few for 60$ and 100$ over and some had added gold in it and I had about over 160$ worth of gold it depends on location and company.
If this video has 1,000,000 views or more and you don't subscribe, you will die.
Why
lot of money for a lot of.. dirt, even if gold prices rise
I guess I better subscribe then, lol. If nuggets have cool shape, like a bear, heart, etc., then they dramatically rise in price for jewelry sake. Enjoyed the video!
KleshGuitars i subbed :)
will since you put it that way .. I'll subscribe
I like your honesty in the videos you make . Your just a guy having fun like most of the people who are doing the same thing. I got into this as a hobby as a kid always wanting to see what was under me. If any buried treasure or just finding gold the fun in doing so. Keep up the great work and great videos
Thanks djcire1 glad you enjoyed it!
This guy is all about rounding up.
Good Observation NimsChannel, and thanks for watching!
It should have at least 700 worth of gold WITHOUT THE NEW HIGHER prices....I agree with you.... thanks for the review. This is why we are your fans...priceless info :D
Thanks Mogollon Treasure Hunters glad you enjoyed it!
Hey just a quick tip whenever you go to classify it spray it with a mist of water to avoid the dust getting everywhere 😁
I agree brothers in the woods, and thanks for watching!
I appreciate these videos. Thank you for creating them.
Thanks Rolling Thunder glad you enjoyed it!
Getting people to pay $1000 for a bucket of dirt is taking the Pet Rock level genius to a whole new level.
Thanks Alex MacLean for watching!
Longer videos are great if there is work to do. I enjoyed! Can't wait to send you some of my custom paydirt, should be ready by the end of summer 2020. Thanks for sharing this MEGA bucket video.
Can't wait!
just wanted to say, you're so professional in this, dunno if it is ur work or hobby, but you got me dude, am so into such hobby from now on, great video ! sorry for the money loss tho, i hope the views on this video will pay up
Thank you, yes it's my work. Cool to hear you like it!
I think that’s actually NOT bad. Think about how much it would cost and how long it would take to go up there and get that much gold.
That said, I cannot WAIT to get out by Pitkin and prospect! Any advice/ideas for that area?
Exactly. They're a business and have to make money, so I can't say they "Suck" or anything. However, there's plenty of other companies (that i've reviewed) that yield much more gold per dollar spent. I was never over in Pitkin county prospecting, but I'd say just bring your shovel, classifier, 2 buckets, maybe a crevice tool and a small scoop with you gold pan and you're good to go! Thanks for watching!
Don't sorry dude I was your 85,000 subscriber I love your content
Nice! Thanks! 85K wow just realized it thank you!
This just popped up in my feed again, so I watched it again knowing that you were getting hosed...hope your patreon is making it all worthwhile. best of luck
Definitely doing good with this video, the ad revenue alone made my $$ back at least 5x over. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for doing this! It’s amazing how many think they are going to get a bonanza! This really shows them that they won’t! Education value only!
I agree Mary-Ruth Flores, and thanks for watching!
What do I think of that, well it shows you someone just found a way to make a lot of money out of a little gold. best thing is that you hang on to that gold until the prices go up. At least you have not had to spend all day mucking around in cold water a long way from home having spent a lot on gas. Some prospectors do this for years and just find a few grains.
Love the corner view of Buffalo bill.awsome video
Did I hear Burzum in your intro?? If so, best precious metals RUclips channel ever!
No but it's Burzum Inspired for sure!
That’s over $900 at today’s price. 👍🏻
These videos are so relaxing!!!
Glad you think so!
Man 1.3 million views. My man hitting them big numbers! One question, though it's an easy one. Did this come in a box or did they send just the bucket? Another great one Shane. Sry about the return. Till next one my friend.
Yeah it comes in a box
@@Klesh That's what I figured. Thx Shane.
8:49 "put it in the bucket" lmao that was funny asf
What’s so funny as “f”
Got the same kitchen strainer. Ive used dollar store mesh pencil holder, or mini waste basket too
The other $500 was spent on the bucket. Love your channel.
Thanks Allen's Adventures glad you enjoyed it!
My dad loves panning for gold and he’s found some in quartz in Southern California also. Living in Missouri he can’t do it much here. Was thinking of getting him one of these buckets for his birthday, is the process of panning it out somewhat the same? I don’t know much about gold. Would this be a good gift?
(RISK NEEDS A PRICE. It’s Time to Put a Price on the Risk of Mining Disasters. *You lost about half your money.)* A much better idea is to purchase about $1000 worth of placer gold and then seed it (add it) into about 5 gallons of sand-gravel yourself, then mix it all up in a wheel barrow with a shovel and a little water. Run this material on a system (Gold Hog, Gold Cube, expanded metal over miners moss, etc.) where you can save (catch) your tailings. There you have your fun with sluicing or highbanking with almost *no* gold or money loss, with maybe a very small loss in the cost of gasoline or electric power.
Thanks Barney Jobes for watching!
KleshGuitars -- Yes, beats me why people order heavy gravel over the mail to lose money! Instead seed (add) your own gold to gravel at home with zero loss in money except for a miniscule electric or gasoline cost!
Wow love the video! I am a brand new subscriber and I this is my first video I’ve seen of yours. I am already addicted now. I’m sure the more of your videos I watch the more questions about panning and why you want to separate out the “black sand” or the “magnetic stuff”? Does that sell too? Also do you sell the left over rocks and sand or do you just dump them outside some where?
Hi Ash Ley, thanks for getting addicted to my show LOL! So the black sand I keep in a separate container and then I process it with chemicals when I get a lot of it to extract the microscopic gold. After that it goes to waste recycling. The left over rocks and sand (also called tailings in the mining world) I pan through again to check if I missed any gold. After that , I just return it to the river. I do those things about once a year. You can see the process for both in the following two videos: ruclips.net/video/G7j9-d2hWfY/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/EsnAM2jeFuM/видео.html
Thanks for watching
I will say you scared the crap out of me doing it over that deck, I was imagining putting a tarp or something down for you lol. Great video dude!
My neighbor downstairs won't mind having it rain gold I'm sure.
Ironically lol you have demonstrated magnificently EXACTLY why he said a weak magnet. It's all in the details. I know , I do that too...sometimes you have to slow down to get finished sooner.
I agree Donna Anderson, and thanks for watching!
Hey I know it's a year later but have you bought another bucket to compare amounts and prices? Like is it always gonna average out to $300 or $400 profit or can you get kore
Hey Joe thanks for the comment. So although this video has paid for itself many times over due to ad revenue, It's hard to spent almost a grand on something that was so disappointing the first time around. If I did buy another "nugget bucket", I think i'd do a different one, and have it shipped to an anonymous person, because Lynch Mining now knows who I am. I wouldn't want to get a "gold heavy" bucket to be fair to everyone watching. Good question though, and again I appreciate the comment and view!
You do a good video. The seller seeds the buckets. I have never seen anyone score with one of these paydirt deals
Thanks YoYo Maa for watching!
You just got unlucky, There is another video of someone finding 1300 dollars worth of gold in that bucket
I think that bucket is the $1800 one, where he found $1300 in gold.
You should try using a magnet from the back of a speaker. They are super strong and perfect for this. I used to remove black sand from desert sand in Texas. Prolly not good to use all the time but worth seeing. You might be able to fabricate a sleeve for it. 😉
Thanks kimmy361984 for watching!
