Thanks for the thoughtful review Klesh! A commenter Benny did the math on the cost of the gold from three folks winning 1 oz in the run of 200 bags and it gets you close to the overall ROI that you say you would expect. You also have to factor in the custom packaging, the extras, and shipping everything for free from a remote corner of Alaska, which bites more than a few points of margin off each sale. We absolutely had industry-standard profit margins in mind when we started this business and it’s a bummer to see folks in the comments saying we’re ripping people off! Overall I wouldn’t expect our bag to be for those searching for a guaranteed max ROI, but for fans of Bering Sea Gold who want to participate with us in the gold hunt in Nome with a chance to get a nice payday, or who want to give a thoughtful gift to someone who’s a fan. We have so far used 100% of the proceeds from these sales to fund our investment in RUclips and website content, fun products, and other infrastructure as we grow our business with the goal of connecting more people with the offshore gold dredging business in Alaska, which we devote a ton of our energy to off-season. If anyone thinks we are just pocketing huge profits off unsuspecting fans you are very wrong. Also the gold we mine from the Bering Sea is really that fine! Thanks again!
Hey Emily, so after posting this video I learned a lot about you and your show(s), and as a gold nerd, I do find it very intersting! I can't think of a better job than playing with dirt and making silly videos. Anyway, yes you're correct 100% about the packaging costs and the value of a customer being involved directly with the show so of course you can command a premium. People get to be a part of what you do in your show which is priceless honestly. I do think your paydirt is very fun, and although I told people to avoid it, i really do think my review won't change people's mind on whether or not they'd buy this product because of where it comes from. I also subscribed to your show, and will be catching up when I can thanks for watching! -Shane
@Emily_Riedel Huge fan as you know, one of your first 100 subs on RUclips. Hope we gave you the idea, tho sure you thought of it first ❤️. Good luck this year and we will be watching! Cheers x3 🎉🎉🎉
@Emily_Riedel I USE to be a huge fan of Bering Sea Gold, until it became too "hokey" and really Fake. Discovery Channel was more interested in making it a Drama, then a reality TV show. Its loaded with too much fakery, and all of you :actors" went along with that bullshittery.. I prefer Klesh and his honesty over your Horseshit, and going along with Discovery and feeding the horseshit to the public.
Love your videos, especially when you traveled to B.C. and hung out with Dan Hurd and P. Pauly. To say the least, Emily Riedel's story, not to be Kleshe` (ha see what I did there!) is like a true underdog story. But her and her people are pretty genuine, hard working folks. Her dad is a little off, but he means well I think. She has some cool videos on the many challenges of mining in the Bering Sea.
They claim that out of the 200 bags in this batch, there are 3 motherload bags that have an ounce of gold. These 200 bags would cost a total of $150X200=$30,000. The 3 ounces of gold in the motherload bags are worth close to $6,000. So you have 20% of the cost of the whole batch in just these 3 bags. Assuming that the bag that you had is an average non-motherload bag, that would mean that all the 197 non-motherload bags would have a total of approximately $68X197=$13,396 worth of gold. If you add the $6,000 worth of gold from the 3 motherload bags, you get a total of $19,296 worth of gold in the 200 bags that cost $30,000. That's an average ROI of ~65%. Not the best, but a lot better than the 45% you get if you disregard the motherload bags. All this is only relevant if these 3 motherload bags really do exist. :)
Thanks Benny for doing the math on this because you are roughly right about the margins with the motherlode bags - which absolutely do exist one has been found. We also put more $$$ into packaging and ship everything from a remote corner of Alaska for free which actually makes the margins tighter than you’d think. We could do less packaging and more gold and get closer to the 75% standard, and we are always trying to find ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality, but I’d say this bag isn’t designed for maximum ROI but more for fans of the show who want a chance to pan some gold
Hi Shane, I bought Emily's pay dirt and got 1.316 grams. The chance of getting a whole ounce made it absolutely more fun and the fact that is not an exact amount of gold in each bag adds to the experience. It seemed pretty easy after doing your whole series of dirt though. The impossible bag was really fun.
I really appreciate your videos. Please don't get tired of teaching us newbs, as your expertise and explanations make it easier to want to try "getting our feet wet" in this adventure!
Packaging is such an important step! You want your product to be a whole experience, many companies don't think about packaging. Great video as always and always so relaxing to watch.
@@showmeyourkitties That's a fair point I guess. I suppose they have to find the gold first though, if they don't have enough then I guess packaging an be a nice thing, added extras etc.
Thanks we take pride in our packaging! It definitely cuts a bit into the gold we can provide. So do the vinyl decals and the certificate of authenticity, and the free shipping from a remote corner of Alaska. The way we think about it is it's a product for fans of Bering Sea Gold who want to get a fun experience and a chance at a payday, or for those who want to give a thoughtful gift to a fan.
@@TheEmilyRiedel totally makes sense. I'm sure all the fans appreciate the full experience. I appreciate packaging and thoughtfulness behind it all. Appreciate the response. Good luck out there and stay safe.
Good stuff, Shane! I always enjoy your videos and rewatch all different ones throughout the week. I've been binge watching Dan Hurd since seeing your video at Pickerton. Another awesome guy, who "earned my subscription". Peace🤘😎
I got a bag, it was the cold gold bag. Had all kinds of extras i was very happy. My material was still wet and it wasnt lying when i touched it it was so cold it couldve gave frostbite.
Dang dude…. Barely recognized you with the new hair cut. Looks good 👍 kind of stopped watching gold/silver videos when premiums went through the roof. My stack is at a stand still…glad to see yours is still growing! Keep up the good work
Great video, put together well, as always! We just panned out one of these Bering Sea paydirts from Emily as well. Video will be up on March 16th. Ended up with .99 of a gram. Not a great ROI but in the long run, we bought the paydirt to help support her channel and a chance at one of the 1 ounce bags. Also would mention the decals sent were cool and the packaging is awesome.
Thanks so much Hip Bee! We definitely wanted to make it a fun and more thoughtful experience than most paydirt bags - specifically for fans of the show. Just started selling gold by the gram for those who want a guaranteed ROI.
Bering Sea Gold is a show on TV on Discovery channel really interesting to watch too, Emily Riedel runs the boat. You should catch an episode it's actually very interesting.
A comment for a comment from 7 months ago. I am happy you have not watched tv since 2006. Longer than that for me. Just youtube where I learn things at 64+. Take Care from Wyo!
Emily is one of the stars of the TV program "Bering Sea Gold". Eroica is the name of her dredge. She gives a strong impression of being honest so I would be surprised if the paydirt was not good.
Thanks Jaycee! We honestly try to be transparent as possible about our profit margins and what we're doing. Commenter Benny has a good breakdown of just how expensive it is to have 3 bags of gold win 1 oz and how that affects how much gold we put in the other 197 bags. Plus we have premium packaging, extras, and free shipping from a remote corner of Alaska, which eats more than a few points into our margins. We absolutely aim for industry standard profit margins and our bags have been reviewed a ton of times on RUclips. We also started selling placer gold by the gram for folks who want that guaranteed ROI! This just isn't the product for people who don't like Bering Sea Gold and want the absolute max ROI guaranteed.
@@TheEmilyRiedel love ya emily!Emily!! Keep making awesome content for us!!! I've been rooting for you since you left zeke and were beach mining with the rocker box!!!
My Dad brought home an old electro-magnet being thrown out used as unpickable security lock for his building in the city. I notice like tiny particles shifting but not sticking to the magnet and it made me wonder if it would be strong enough to just collect everything out of the pan lol.
You know what would be awesome. A spreadsheet of all your findings from all the various paydirt vendors. Have a "Klesh Rating" similar to how Doug Demuro does a Doug score on cars.
Bering Sea Gold is a great channel on u tube. Emily is a hard working lady fighting against those guys called the Promerankies. The Proms father and son always fought with each other
Her show is on the Discovery channel, coming from Nome,Alaska, not as much black sand as in other parts of the State, when I worked my parents Gold mining operation in the Brooks Range, lots of black sand
I really wish I lived over there, after shipping and import fees it sucks to buy paydirt bags. I bought one from you a while back and it was really fun though. ANything you can buy from swedish vendors are overprized and never anything but the added exact minimum amount. Can´t seem to find any other trustworthy vendors in europe either. Nice video as always, love watching these :)
Bering Sea Gold is on the Discovery Channel. Think Deadliest Catch. It's filmed in Nome, Alaska. Watched a guy drive along the beach and get several ounces of gold over the course of three days. (He had a helper). They were doing this because their dredge was broken and being fixed.
Mr. Klesh - I am frankly surprised at you. I get called a Luddite all the time for not having a TV or subscribing to network TV (since2011), but even I know what Bering Sea Gold is. For someone in the gold industry that has visited Alaska to gold hunt to not know about Bering Sea Gold is jaw-dropping.
Your reply to those anachronistic relics erroneously calling you a Luddite for not having a TV is simply that you no longer have any interest in such old technology, having moved on and beyond that years ago. However, they are most welcome to continue living in the declining remnants of outdated 20th century junk, if that is their wont. I think it will be in about July this year that I pass the 30 year mark, having junked TV because I always despised the lies of adverts. They aren't supposed to lie or mislead, but those words appear to have different definitions to 'TV watchdogs' than they do in a dictionary. Advertising always lies and misleads. But without advertising there is no TV, or fat TV watchdog pay packets. .
I just got a magnet fishing mag from wish and it has the loop for a rope but it perfect for the silver dollar tube. I like the hoop on it and it is plenty strong. It was 7.99 on wish. It’s way too small for actually mag fishing but it is perfect for the paydirt. It might be worth checking out
Ouch, I got 1.6g and a 60% ROI in my review but that was in their last batch with only 1 big winner. I wonder if by adding more 1oz winners all the other bags took a hit?
Thanks, Shane. That was sort of exciting, just thinking you might get the motherload, then it suddenly seemed dismal with only two little pickers, then all that flower gold appeared, yep I know it's (flour gold), but I've always thought of it like the golden pollen on flowers. ( :
so i live in Tahoe and about 20 ft from the shore there is a black sand ring that goes around the lake and i was wondering with the abundance of gold in the area i just wonder if its the right type of black sand. we have a river here that when you look at it it sparkles gold and if you look closely it tiny golden flakes flowing in the river that drains out of the lake.
THe best way to find out is grab a gold pan and head down there. Do a bunch of sample pans, anywhere you suspect gold to be. The gold you see in the river is just Mica and Pyrite. Gold is much too heavy to be "on top" where you'd see it. Also, gold doesn't sparkle, it's "just yellow".
#1) Selling the name. I believe there on Discovery channel. #2) I find it hard to believe that it's "out of a dredge" with all the floatie mica. Would have blown right thru a dredge. Much better deals around out there. As always, great video.
Yea bought a bag. I watch the show she hasn’t been on recently because she got Covid and is about to have a child. Her dad is kind of a nut. I think I sold you back some of her gold from that bag. I did have some big chunks of black stuff not magnetic made it difficult to clean. You noted that when you opened my sample. She actually a soprano opera trained. There are some videos of her singing on you tube. She has a beautiful voice.
A friend of mine told me I should listen to opera. I asked why. He said that the music was wonderful. I told him that every time I had heard any opera I could barely hear the music as there was always some fat bloke wailing over the top of it. Sorry. Couldn't resist. .
I always found Emily kinda sketchy. She certainly doesn't always make the smartest decisions - like sleeping with Mr. Gold - but her father really takes the cake. Steve is certifiably nuts.
Have you ever thought about trying to buy all the bags in those x amount out of x amount bags that say they have motherload in them so say a company says there are 2 bags out of a 100 that have a motherload amount and just buy all 100 bags to see if it's really true?
yes, i agree, 70-75% ROI for those who purchase paydirt, less than 50% is theft, regardless of the guarantee, the paydirt model needs re-working, great looking gold though
You definitely need to check out my gold prospecting and world travel playlists. Also check out my 50 states of treasure hunting series where I visit each state in the United States to do some treasure hunting. Plenty of rivers across the world on this channel thanks for watching!
Klesh: I scanned your last five videos with ThioJoe's RUclips Spammer Purger and found zero spammer/scammers out of 2011 posts. You are clean, sir! And have a great day.
You're paying for the Captain of the ship's signature. Bearing Sea Gold is a Discovery Channel show. A gram isn't bad, but $150 a bit much for just a gram.
Plus the chance to win an ounce, premium packaging, extras, and free shipping from a remote corner of Alaska. Our profit margins are industry standard. We sell gold by the gram as well which is much cheaper than that for those who want a guaranteed ROI
It's definitely one of those things that have value for fans and not for other folks who just want gold. That's why I say our bags aren't for the average paydirt/ROI junkie. We sell gold by the gram that is much cheaper than our bag of paydirt!
Hey so let’s think ….IS IT a good investment to buy paydirt? I figure the cost of gas , equipment, food and everything it takes to go prospecting…. IIS it cheaper to just buy paydirt?? I’ve spent a lot and found nothing or a flake or two and spent over $40 in gas.
If you're looking to invest in gold, then don't buy paydirt. Buy Bullion from a reputable dealer. Paydirt can certainly save you money if you plan on doing it instead of spending the time, planning, travel, money, gas, equipment, knowledge etc to mine yourself, but what fun is that? I think paydirt is best for kids (to get them interested) or people with disabilities that cannot physically get on the river to find it themselves. To me, the process of getting out in nature and enjoying the day is much more valuable than the gold itself, but everyone's perception of value is a little different.
The bags are a gamble just like mining the gold your self. If they just scooped you up a bag of pay dirt you would rarely get anything. Think of that. These ppl are risking there lives for this gold. I look at it as a good way to support Emily with out having to give producers a cut,
@@Klesh amazing, we also do not own a tv. I was a reader as a kid, eyes to bad now. Just super into Gold, so when the shows came out I did and do watch them all. If you want, the first few seasons are the best. Super drama, big struggles. Totally get not being into it too. If you do, let me know. Love to hear your thoughts. Following Riddel, her father and friends the last decade has been very interesting.

I think it will be in about July this year that I pass the 30 year mark, having junked TV because I always despised the lies of adverts. They aren't supposed to lie or mislead, but those words appear to have different definitions to 'TV watchdogs' than they do in a dictionary.
Advertising always lies and misleads. But without advertising there is no TV, or fat TV watchdog pay packets.

Yes I've seen the show, she's all about the profit
Got the gold strike bag finally done and weighed up half gram guaranteed yep .63 hell ya 👍
Thanks for another great video.
Gday klesh how are you doing mate. I love you videos. Thank you for keeping it real 🦘
That “sweet” instead of “nice” threw me off😂😂😂
I just got a magnet fishing mag from wish and it has the loop for a rope but it perfect for the silver dollar tube. I like the hoop on it and it is plenty strong. It was 7.99 on wish. It’s way too small for actually mag fishing but it is perfect for the paydirt. It might be worth checking out
Cool thanks for that info
Killer review as always. Excellent video
Ouch, I got 1.6g and a 60% ROI in my review but that was in their last batch with only 1 big winner. I wonder if by adding more 1oz winners all the other bags took a hit?
The only reason I would get this bag is for the chance at an ounce of gold (albeit the odds aren't that great). Thanks for another informative video!
Maybe we'll do a half ounce and six winners next time
@@TheEmilyRiedel That would make a lot more sense in so many ways
Wow planing gold when it's snowing!
@7:02 it appears there's gold in lower right corner of the screen, but you go top left for garnet. Double check?
Looks like they are doing less in the bags with 3 being motherloads. More about the chance factor than about a steady ROI.
Absolutely true for this run. We went more prizes and bigger, but less on average in each bag
Thanks, Shane. That was sort of exciting, just thinking you might get the motherload, then it suddenly seemed dismal with only two little pickers, then all that flower gold appeared, yep I know it's (flour gold), but I've always thought of it like the golden pollen on flowers. ( :
That's absolutely how fine most of the gold is that we dredge - cleanups are fun!
Really good description. When my daughters bees come back to the hive they look like they have little bits of gold on their legs.
Snow on the panning station and some flying around. Does it snow in Colorado? :-) Never mind
Bering Sea Gold is a TV series that is seasonal
Nice review 👌
so i live in Tahoe and about 20 ft from the shore there is a black sand ring that goes around the lake and i was wondering with the abundance of gold in the area i just wonder if its the right type of black sand. we have a river here that when you look at it it sparkles gold and if you look closely it tiny golden flakes flowing in the river that drains out of the lake.
THe best way to find out is grab a gold pan and head down there. Do a bunch of sample pans, anywhere you suspect gold to be. The gold you see in the river is just Mica and Pyrite. Gold is much too heavy to be "on top" where you'd see it. Also, gold doesn't sparkle, it's "just yellow".
#1) Selling the name. I believe there on Discovery channel. #2) I find it hard to believe that it's "out of a dredge" with all the floatie mica. Would have blown right thru a dredge. Much better deals around out there. As always, great video.
Yea bought a bag. I watch the show she hasn’t been on recently because she got Covid and is about to have a child. Her dad is kind of a nut. I think I sold you back some of her gold from that bag. I did have some big chunks of black stuff not magnetic made it difficult to clean. You noted that when you opened my sample. She actually a soprano opera trained. There are some videos of her singing on you tube. She has a beautiful voice.
A friend of mine told me I should listen to opera.
I asked why.
He said that the music was wonderful.
I told him that every time I had heard any opera I could barely hear the music as there was always some fat bloke wailing over the top of it.
Sorry. Couldn't resist.
.
There’s some beautiful color in there! I’m curious as to whether anyone has found a mother load yet.
The description Klesh read said one of the three had been found.
@@PHUCKyoutube689 I missed that, thank you!
One has been found!
I always found Emily kinda sketchy. She certainly doesn't always make the smartest decisions - like sleeping with Mr. Gold - but her father really takes the cake. Steve is certifiably nuts.
😂👌😆🤣
I'm subscribed to her channel
Have you ever thought about trying to buy all the bags in those x amount out of x amount bags that say they have motherload in them so say a company says there are 2 bags out of a 100 that have a motherload amount and just buy all 100 bags to see if it's really true?
I suppose I could
yes, i agree, 70-75% ROI for those who purchase paydirt, less than 50% is theft, regardless of the guarantee, the paydirt model needs re-working, great looking gold though
I kept thinking I see snow flakes… 9:00 in I realize it’s snowing!
“Episode 121 of gold prospecting from home”
Am I the only one who thinks this guy should have found a river by now
You definitely need to check out my gold prospecting and world travel playlists. Also check out my 50 states of treasure hunting series where I visit each state in the United States to do some treasure hunting. Plenty of rivers across the world on this channel thanks for watching!
@@Klesh hahahahah thanks, I’ve actually been a fallowed with your channel for quite some time now. Ever since some of ur first lynch mining reviews.
Klesh: I scanned your last five videos with ThioJoe's RUclips Spammer Purger and found zero spammer/scammers out of 2011 posts. You are clean, sir! And have a great day.
You're paying for the Captain of the ship's signature. Bearing Sea Gold is a Discovery Channel show. A gram isn't bad, but $150 a bit much for just a gram.
Plus the chance to win an ounce, premium packaging, extras, and free shipping from a remote corner of Alaska. Our profit margins are industry standard. We sell gold by the gram as well which is much cheaper than that for those who want a guaranteed ROI
great looking pay dirt Shane :) I also watch the T.V programme its pretty cool to watch :) the pay dirt ROI however not too good on this bag :(
Nice 👍
About what I expected! The show is "Bering Sea Gold"!
Sweet! Team 42%
You did get a sticker and a signed auto. They're putting value in that. Me wants the gold though like most people.
It's definitely one of those things that have value for fans and not for other folks who just want gold. That's why I say our bags aren't for the average paydirt/ROI junkie. We sell gold by the gram that is much cheaper than our bag of paydirt!
Thank you I was going to buy a couple of bags but I will not loose 55 percent of money i
Hey so let’s think ….IS IT a good investment to buy paydirt? I figure the cost of gas , equipment, food and everything it takes to go prospecting…. IIS it cheaper to just buy paydirt?? I’ve spent a lot and found nothing or a flake or two and spent over $40 in gas.
If you're looking to invest in gold, then don't buy paydirt. Buy Bullion from a reputable dealer. Paydirt can certainly save you money if you plan on doing it instead of spending the time, planning, travel, money, gas, equipment, knowledge etc to mine yourself, but what fun is that? I think paydirt is best for kids (to get them interested) or people with disabilities that cannot physically get on the river to find it themselves. To me, the process of getting out in nature and enjoying the day is much more valuable than the gold itself, but everyone's perception of value is a little different.
@@Klesh thanks klesh! I trust your knowledge.
Got any bullion lol?
@@Klesh and also you should come check out our Washington nature!!! It’s the best in the west !!!
What’s the stuff he brushes away before starting?
The bags are a gamble just like mining the gold your self. If they just scooped you up a bag of pay dirt you would rarely get anything. Think of that. These ppl are risking there lives for this gold. I look at it as a good way to support Emily with out having to give producers a cut,
Correct, that's why I always look for bags with a guaranteed minimum amount of gold. Otherwise what's the point?
nice vedio
Hey do you have a bucket of magnitized materal you can show us, I mean all that you have pulled from pay dirt etc? or do you just dump it.
Yes I have two buckets full
That’s crazy ur doing this in the cold snowy weather.
Next week's video was rough, filmed in 7 degrees F
Bearing Sea Gold is on the Discovery Channel
You really never heard of it? Great vid m8, cheers 🎉
I do not own or watch TV or even much RUclips (of other gold prospecting people) so that is why.
@@Klesh amazing, we also do not own a tv. I was a reader as a kid, eyes to bad now. Just super into Gold, so when the shows came out I did and do watch them all. If you want, the first few seasons are the best. Super drama, big struggles. Totally get not being into it too. If you do, let me know. Love to hear your thoughts. Following Riddel, her father and friends the last decade has been very interesting.
Great video as always Klesh. Question, what song is that playing while you are panning?
Just RUclips free audio
