I'm 12 years old and live in Colorado and I found my first peace of gold with my grandpa and now with your paydirt bags I can have fun at my house. I have 21 grams of gold now mostly because of you.
Wow that is awesome! It's always great to hear that you're outside looking for gold or any treasures. Be sure to share some pictures of your gold on my discord channel, and on my website reviews!
Still amazes me how this day and age especially with a 120.00 paydirt that precautions are overlooked in shipping. Just lazy or they don’t care. Decent gold but as always, amazing video Shane!
The customer service response to the broken bag in shipping was top notch. Impressive in my opinion. Seems like a good company. I’m curious what the reason was for having the review taken down initially if I understand the beginning of the video correctly.
Found you many moons ago, fun to come across you again! Glad to see you're still getting real samples from the suppliers and giving us the low down. Really enjoyed the vid from my back yard.
Thank you Shane:) I love these vids!!! What I loved the most was "if you are to lazy to do it yourself" More truth in that my friend than most would understand.
Good video Shane, I've been to Liberty, Washington a few times and each time it's more beautiful then the last. Love the Area and the great gold to be found there! Thanks again for the video 😁
great day panning fam. me & the guy's was just up in their on one of the claims fam. Spyder just gave me a VDR. need to bring it out. sorry about the AU fam. keep on the hunt. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!
I don't pan, but enjoy watching, and I must say, it is always funny when you bring "Crusty Rusty" into the picture! Bet it is like an old friend to you! Lol. Dan
awesome video Shane as always :) got to love the pay dirt reviews :) shame about the first parcel :( but hey at least they replaced it :) mmmm double gold finds :) sweet to see that one done on the sluice too :)
I had the almost exact same issue when receiving your pay dirt I think the mail man accedentaly cut my package no need to make a complaint it was just 15 bucks of fun looking forward to buying a bigger bag soon
some amazing stuff, Customer service replacing the entire bag and reshipping is outstanding, that picker is nice. wonder if they include 1 picker on the bag.
At the very end you mention how this is useful for training; I was thinking throughout how you can do this at home to learn technique before heading into the wild. Thanks!
Shane you should check out the Columbia River next time you in wa. Great place to pan. Wish winter wasn't here makes me wanna get out there this weekend
loved this video the first time you posted it Shane. and loved watching it a second time. I have to go and rewatch your paydirt nugget bucket reviews lol. those I cant stop watching. you should do another one of those.
I have had 2 bags of pay dirt from 2 different places that came broken all over the box. They both told me it was not their problem and to take it up with the shipper.
Algorithm comments! Your plan has worked! I absolutely can't stop watching and now I'm eye balling your 275 package deal. But kinda want a signed seasoned pan
Ima need to get some jet dry. In 24 hours I went from a guy who buys silver coins every payday. To wanting to get your 275 package deal and teach myself how to prospect I live in California too so you got me looking into local areas But first i gotta get proficient at panning and recovering what is in your bags
There is a Geology prof that I follow here on RUclips (Nick Zintner) that has shown some of the gold coming out of this place. Very pretty and a lot of wire gold.
If people dodn't want their footage used in other peoples' videos, maybe they shouldn't post it, you know, publicly.... screw them Shane! They're probably just jealous that you have a stronger fan base than them. I'm not even going to search the footage. Screw giving them the veiw. Keep up the good work.
When you pour the gold on to the scale, if you pay attention you can see some small flakes spill out on to the rubber mat underneath..not much, but after all of that effort...
They should stop shipping the gold pan (though it's a good perk) and instead ship that small bag either wrapped in plastic or in a ziplock bag and ship in a sturdy USPS Small Flat Rate Box. Those things are strong and like $7 bucks for shipping. Free tracking and Priority service. Easy and familiar to them, easy to sort in the truck. Everyone has a good day. USPS even gives you stacks of the boxes for free if you're a business that needs them and use them regularly. It's a shame that the extra shipping is required when they could charge like 8 bucks for shipping and get a free sturdy box. That little bit of bubble wrap that they included with that huge box could have easily held it tightly in place in the Small Flat Rate Box and that thing wouldn't move at all. Thank You for making these videos. I love gold prospecting and panning videos, but live in Atlanta, Georgia where we don't have gold in the immediate area. Dahlonega, Georgia is a good distance North of us by about 70 miles, but I have medical issues that don't permit me to drive. They also cause full-body heightened sensations, so watching your videos is very relaxing to me (basically a form of ASMR x 10) even just watching someone pan gold. I can be in a grocery store and see someone flipping through a magazine and get something similar. I hope to eventually have property up near Dahlonega somewhere where I can pan gold and mail it off to other companies to sell it and use the proceeds for my Roth IRA investments. I've taught myself to be a pretty good stock trader and my medical stuff affects how good of a job I can get pay-wise, but the investing knowledge that I have taught myself will definitely fill the gap in the future. Oh and what's the song during the panning that you use frequently? It's very relaxing.
I was just in Liberty, WA this last Labor day with my brother. I planned in the creek and found 1 fly poop size speck of shiney yeller gold. That speck was so small I couldn't keep it. I may have been one of them tader seeds...👍
@@jonpierce8342 - If I recall, basalt dikes are intruding up through layers of carboniferous shale. Gold-bearing hydrothermal fluids were injected up along the dikes, and then gold precipitated out in contact with the black shales.
Quartz dust really isn't heavy, it's basically just as heavy as sand because they are both silica.. What you are likely seeing is zircon dust, I've mentioned it a few times, we have it in abundance around here. Did you burn the box and tape to get anything that was stuck to it?
Now I have to find the "copyright" video and watch it. Love the videos im new around here so this was not a rematch for me! Keep rocking (see what I did there??) \m/
Get yourself a bag of Gold Blast Paydirt from KleshGold.com . Under $100 and over a full gram of chunky and flakes - not difficult either, easy for kids!
If you're ever up in Washington again would you be willing to take a novice out to learn in the real world . When I was stationed in the army in Alaska I really got into wanting to learn how to gold prospecting but haven't been able to . I live in northwest Washington and I know there is a lot of gold around
Absolutely. First time I visited Washington state for a prospecting trip, as always, I invite my Patreon and Channel Member officers for a get together at a number of different treasure hunting activities. This year I did invitations to Washington, Minnesota, Florida, Colorado, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota and a few others I believe. Always great to meet up with people find treasure!
Looks like the postmaster got curious and opened it haphazardly or something (not sure if that is even legal). With as many drugs being sold and shipped domestically online nowadays, I wouldn't be surprised.
@@lucasjackson6037 DId a few in Australia with Chris from Vo-Gus, and Jeff Williams challenged Pauly and I (both) to the "Blindfolded Gold Panning Challenge", which Pauly and I did in a video as well, specifically for that occasion. ruclips.net/video/47S_y02Koig/видео.html
Just to let you know when you get anything packed with anything it goes through tsa and they open and test that it is not drugs. Then they repacked it as best they can to original packed. I'm sure you already know that but I've seen a lot of your videos and it's not the original packaging from the senders problem.
I ship dozens of bags of paydirt every day (my company is kleshgold.com). TSA has no business anywhere near packages within the USA, such as the one in this video. However for international shipments, Customs (not TSA) for whatever country my products are arriving in get checked through Xray and sometimes get pulled for inspection. When a dog goes over the package and not get a "drug hit", they packages are sent through with no problems. Some countries (such as Australia) do not allow any organic material into the country, and they seize and burn or return, so that's why I don't offer shipping to Australia.
My husband and I dont live too far from here. From a kid my Dad conditioned me to mining, gold etc. My husband is now interested so we bought a $25 bag of Potato Patch paydirt and it paid off!!! Plenty of gold however!.... I told my husband I was throwing the empty bag away. Between the very short time we panned the bag and the time I threw the EMPTY bag away was maybe a day. I put the gold in a small bag on our kitchen table in a fruit bowl and told my husband where it was to show our prospecting club. He put the small gold bag back in the paydirt bag and I threw the paydirt bag away. Why keep an empty bag!? Well off it went to the dump. The first panned gold we have ever found!!!!! We both feel terrible 😞
It might be an idea to have a scoreboard that you show each episode, then everyone can see who is selling the best/worst paydirt and whether the seller improves or decreases the quality over time.
@@Klesh you could score by percent of buying price. ie if 5000$ was recovered from a 10000$ bucket, the score would be 50. If the industry average is 75% then this 50 score would tell people that the seller is below average. If the end score was 90, (9000$) the viewers would know that the seller is above average. A simple system that could be improved apon but is understandable.
So ROI isn't the main factor in scoring. For instance, if a paydirt has 100% ROI, but is basically play sand or garden topsoil , that's nothing near an authentic gold panning experience and would get a terrible score, but also couldn't be a 1 star review since you're getting 100% ROI... However, a 60% ROI with real placer gold mining concentrates and different size gold would have a much higher score due to the experience and less gold. My video reviews allow for the customer to decide for themselves what may or may not be the right product for them to choose, although I certainly do have some pointers I've learned along the way to keep from getting ripped off. Hope this helps
I was curious if you were able to retrieve the gold stuck in the tape on the bag that was open just curious if there was any amount worth trying to get
Hey Shane what temperature do you dry your gold with. I was thinking of getting a heat gun but dident know which one/ dident want to melt my pan haha. Thanks mate and hopefully I can talk with you in the Kesha discord again.

Thanks Scott. The original video had a screenshot of someone elses' video, which they asked me to take down which I did.

Thank you Shane:) I love these vids!!! What I loved the most was "if you are to lazy to do it yourself" More truth in that my friend than most would understand.
I love that scale. I have the same model in grey. What I like most about it is that the numbers are really easy to read.
Thanks for the beginner paydirt!
I had a lot of fun repanning it!
Good video Shane, I've been to Liberty, Washington a few times and each time it's more beautiful then the last. Love the Area and the great gold to be found there! Thanks again for the video 😁
Hey there klesh !... Thanks for your inspirational posts man, keep up the amazing energy my friend !... 🍀💕
Count me as one of the 42%. Nice score and very nice of them to send you another bag.
great day panning fam. me & the guy's was just up in their on one of the claims fam. Spyder just gave me a VDR. need to bring it out. sorry about the AU fam. keep on the hunt. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!

Im stoked ...just placed my order for .. gold strike and gold blast ... cant wait ...Thank you for your videos !!
Love the 1st Creek rock shop. I grab a bag everytime I'm out that way. That's terrible that it was busted. But awesome they got you taken care of.
awesome video Shane as always :) got to love the pay dirt reviews :) shame about the first parcel :( but hey at least they replaced it :) mmmm double gold finds :) sweet to see that one done on the sluice too :)
I use to gold dredge there when I was younger. Then worker on Swauk creek and Scotty creek. always found nice gold!
I had the almost exact same issue when receiving your pay dirt I think the mail man accedentaly cut my package no need to make a complaint it was just 15 bucks of fun looking forward to buying a bigger bag soon
Wife and I love watching your videos while sippn' whiskey
its not the first time you bags are broken, geeat to get an new one,
great video
Liberty has some nice gold for sure. Been lucky enough to be able to get out and run some material out there. Will do again when the weather is better
Loved it! (Again) Watched this one at least twice :P I love your lil sluice rig!
some amazing stuff, Customer service replacing the entire bag and reshipping is outstanding, that picker is nice. wonder if they include 1 picker on the bag.
Love First Creek Treasures! I try to pop in there every time I visit Cle Elum! That's decent paydirt, I've never been disappointed.
Thank you for your amazing videos bro!
Your video with Dan was an awesome video. It was funny that there were 3 Ryan's with u guys.
I'm loving the long sleeve!
At the very end you mention how this is useful for training; I was thinking throughout how you can do this at home to learn technique before heading into the wild. Thanks!
Thanks for the refresher Shane. Look forward to your new vids. Would be cool too see you team up with 2 toes or prospector Jerry out of California.
Happy to watch again! Team 42%!!
Binge watching on Sunday night crew where you at ✊🏻
Good morning! Sippin coffee and watching you play :)
Good morning ☀️
Shane you should check out the Columbia River next time you in wa. Great place to pan. Wish winter wasn't here makes me wanna get out there this weekend
You'll have to check out my video panning for gold at Cape Disappointment right at the Colombia river ruclips.net/video/zJFSiLx7Z_A/видео.html
Pretty stand up of tem to send a replacement like that. Thanks for sharing
Nice! I also enjoyed you on FGW channel. very cool Shane. Still waiting for Texas. lol
Love what you do Klesh
@dennis jamieson klesh really does a nice job on his videos. He came to my gold spot at cape disappointment, and told it like its is...
Can’t wait to watch! Much love Klesh!
Why did i feel like he was speaking directly to me with the "if you are too lazy" comment.
loved this video the first time you posted it Shane. and loved watching it a second time. I have to go and rewatch your paydirt nugget bucket reviews lol. those I cant stop watching. you should do another one of those.

Cool video man. Can wait to see the one with the flour gold wizards. Really dig all the vids!
Coming soon!
Fun video, 👍 keep up the great work 😁
When you pour the gold on to the scale, if you pay attention you can see some small flakes spill out on to the rubber mat underneath..not much, but after all of that effort...
Yeah just a negligible amount but a little bit get away once in a while

I can't wwit to buy a bag of paydirt from Australia! Got interested after watching Vogus!
Chris is awesome!
Good video. I tried to find one of your magnets in the store but couldn’t find it.
enjoyed watching your video nice gold
Long live the nut driver/silver dollar tube. Don't "upgrade" to a new model. The original is perfect 😤
don't forget the gold attached to the packing tape
I was just in Liberty, WA this last Labor day with my brother. I planned in the creek and found 1 fly poop size speck of shiney yeller gold. That speck was so small I couldn't keep it. I may have been one of them tader seeds...👍
Isn’t Liberty known for wire gold? I’m sure most of the gold in that bag came from other sources but that’s a cool find for sure.
I would guess it came mostly from the old placer bench drift mines in the area.
The wire gold only comes from special places where the calcite filled cracks in sinclines... But yes it comes from the area!
@@jonpierce8342 - If I recall, basalt dikes are intruding up through layers of carboniferous shale. Gold-bearing hydrothermal fluids were injected up along the dikes, and then gold precipitated out in contact with the black shales.
Some one had to open that bag in shipping, does not look like a shipping problem.

It might be an idea to have a scoreboard that you show each episode, then everyone can see who is selling the best/worst paydirt and whether the seller improves or decreases the quality over time.
It's hard to score it since they're all so different. The main point of the videos are to just hopefully help people avoid the ripoffs
