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
You should have one bag every now and then that has a small nugget in it also!
@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 🎉🎉🎉
We think you are awesome down here in Southern California, Emily! 👍👍👍
@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.
Bering Sea Gold is a Discovery Channel show in its 14th season and she is one of the cast as Captian of The Eroica which is her dredge.

@@TheEmilyRiedel Well Hot Damn the Captain Herself. Thank you for the Like!
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.
Emily Riedel has the same birthday as me
A few years back I reached out to come be your full time diver. We spoke but you had someone for that season 😭
Finally someone who reviewed it without it being sent to them free. I knew she'd be a rip off.
No one was sent paydirt for free - every single person who reviewed it on RUclips bought it anonymously. And our paydirt is absolutely NOT a ripoff. Between 3 bags winning an ounce, plus premium packaging, extras, and free shipping from a remote corner of Alaska we are making industry standard margins - and reinvesting all of our funds to make better content and products for fans. It's not the right bag of paydirt for those who want guaranteed ROIs and don't care about Bering Sea Gold.
@@TheEmilyRiedel the level of salt here is astounding!!! Not everyone has to like or agree with you on your garden dirt.
How can you blame her? People are attacking her right, left and center on this thread and I think it's pretty shitty.
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
You just have to ask yourself. Why would they sell bags to the public, if it was more profitable to sluice them yourself and keep the pay....
Love these paucity videos. Always helps me decide if I’m getting my moneys worth. Love all your videos keep it up! 💕
great job panning fan. always have a blast coming by fam. keep at it. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!
As always great job and thank you for sharing your experiences
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🤘😎
Dan rocks. He even Golds!
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!
Great review. Thanks for sharing Shane⚒⚒👍👍
Thanks for another great review, looking forward to seeing the new studio. Hope the moving process is going well.
Shane, kudos to you for reporting the value of the gold recovered as a percentage of the purchase price instead of the misleading and errant ROI method so popular with most reviewers. Well done.
Klesh your consistency is priceless. A proper complete review🤙
And your getting snowed on🤣
Ya it melted but we’re getting hit again tonight
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.
Impossible bag is fun I agree! I like to hype it up and “scare” people but it really isn’t a bad experience at all. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks so much Rich! I bet we could put together an Impossible Bag more impossible than Klesh's! Let us know if you ever want to try it
@@TheEmilyRiedel sounds like a fun challenge good luck and keep me updated 👍
@@Klesh to be clear there IS gold in the stuff I just don't know how much - it's not added
@@TheEmilyRiedel lol you sound salty.
Nice review Shane👍🏻 Not a great roi but was fun watching you pan it out! Thanks for sharing⛏🏴
At 5:23 during the fast forward classification, super super satisfying to watch and listen too. Definitely a worthy video effect, the more the better
Bering Sea Gold is a great show. Emily is a hardcore miner and has become quite successful. Awesome looking gold!
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
Shane, I believe it's pronounced eh-roy-ka, after Beethoven's Third Symphony, which is one of my favorite Classical pieces.
Bering sea gold is the best . love that show .
Just wanted to say thank you, received my bag of dirt today and got 2.2 grams on the 2 gram bag. Awesome
Panning out Bering Sea Gold in Colorado and it’s snowing ❄️
Bearing Sea Gold with the Eroica dredge is on DISCOVERY
VERY NICE JOB 👍
Nice hair cut man looks great!
Great review, Man. Thanks. 🍻
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.
IDK... when I see nicely packaged paydirt the first thing I think is, "That could've been another .1 grams of gold for the cost of that box."
@@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.
@@beckscald3855 Thank you!
Great review Shane. Another fun fact is that Emily is an opera singer as well. I do watch this show.
Gold and snow ❤️
thanks for the upload!
Bering sea gold has been on tv for over 10 yrs how does someone like you not know about it
Someone like me who does a lot of treasure hunting doesn't watch TV. Haven't since 2006 when I decided commercials were taking up too much of my time.
Thx for sharing. Nice vid again.
I love that I can turn off my audio compressor for your videos :)
That snow blowing through the video was great, 1 of 42%, cool
Hair is on point brother!
Killer review as always. Excellent video
Thanks for another great video.
Just ordered your 115 dallor bag and your crumbs bag this Brandon can't wait to get your bags
Sweet. I love them. Hello Emily
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!
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.
A new silver dollar tube ? I swear the day crusty rusty is retired I am out.
Great video as always.
Klesh gets a new silver dollar tube!!
Gday klesh how are you doing mate. I love you videos. Thank you for keeping it real 🦘
That has to be among the cleanest panning ive ever seen
Honestly wish he could join our team for gold cleanups
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 :)
Awesome yellow gold and some white sky gold falling on the pan.
That “sweet” instead of “nice” threw me off😂😂😂
Bearing sea gold is a awesome tv show
A Taake shirt in the last video I watched and an Origin shirt in this one. You sir have good taste in metal 🤘
You know it!
Nice review 👌
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.
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.
Yeah I haven't had TV since 2006 and my strict schedule only allows about 20 minutes of internet per day.
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.
.
Emily has a RUclips channel. Been watching her for several years. Keep your eyes open for platinum.
the snow while panning AK dirt was special, like i was right back in Fairbanks or eagle
The new hair cut works for you
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.
I would but boycotted TV back in 2006
She also has a RUclips channel.
And, am I allowed to ask what made you boycott TV?
@@kmoorman2008 I just hate watching commercials
@@Klesh I don't watch it either tbh
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.
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
Sweet! Team 42%
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
She was on a show that is on the discovery Channel. She is pretty cool
You're pretty cool
@@TheEmilyRiedel thank you
Nice 👍
Got the gold strike bag finally done and weighed up half gram guaranteed yep .63 hell ya 👍
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.
Wow planing gold when it's snowing!
I'm subscribed to her channel
Nice!⛏️
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.
Dam that was pretty good
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
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.
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 🍻
Great review and great advice. Thanks klesh think Emily could easily of done better considering her position just paying for the name.
I can't believe you've never seen the show Gold Divers on TV. It's a good watch and you might find it interesting to see where your bag came from.
Don’t watch TV, too many commercials
@@Klesh Kodi is your friend ;) (not seen a commercial in like 3 years now)
Yes I've seen the show, she's all about the profit
#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.
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.
I have the complete opposite impression of her.
@@boobob8955 sorry you do, she's one of my favorites...
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.
@@edgarsikes1805 Thanks Edgar!
@@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!!!
nice vedio
Yea Bering sea gold is a show on the discovery Chanel I believe and they use a dredge in the ocean to find their gold.
I’m early!! What is going on buddy
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.
.
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.
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
If you run a bead of silicone around your silver dollar tube near the top. It would prevent the magnetics from getting on the magnet.
Great video as always Klesh. Question, what song is that playing while you are panning?
Just RUclips free audio
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.
Seen that as well. Love those types of videos.
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!
Snow on the panning station and some flying around. Does it snow in Colorado? :-) Never mind
I kept thinking I see snow flakes… 9:00 in I realize it’s snowing!
That’s crazy ur doing this in the cold snowy weather.
Next week's video was rough, filmed in 7 degrees F
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 would give this one a go if they shipped to Canada..... oh well only a month or two before I can dig my own lol.
“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.
Discovery paydirt, is what I call them.
If ya watch the chanel's, you can see the B.S. they go thru to get the gold.
This has a big impact. Good season good paydirt. Bad season, look out or take your chances.
Another awesome vid, Klesh!
Bering Sea Gold is a TV series that is seasonal
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
I find it hard to believe that a self described "gold nerd" like Shane has never heard of a show on TV about gold mining in Alaska, that has been on for about 13 or 14 seasons at this point.
I don’t have cable or watch TV, at least not since 2006
@@Klesh don't believe you. Kidding
WOOT more GPAH!! 🐉🐉🐉
She’s famous dude 😂wavy before you
i gotta admit... i already had trust issues when i read "Eroica Paydirt"
