      🤔 Hmmmm Pauly. Let's see now, you could open a kids playground behind Andy's house? Or, put it in all those buckets and use it for backfill during the reclamation phase at one of Andy's claims? Or, put it in Ziploc bags and sell it with lemonade on the corner...? 🤣 The possibilities are endless!

      @tomdiets5079 Year ago +72

      For the money he spent on just the buckets he could have, those buckets are $21 for a 3 pack so he probably spent around $150-$200 just on the buckets and they didn’t even need more than 1 or 2 of them lol.

      @thezfunk Year ago +19

      @rexhorning7228 Yeah, I think the key here is the source of the sand. From where I am at, I could order a load of sand and there would be even less gold in it.

    @bjvoorhies Year ago +318

    One problem is that "Home Depot" sand doesn't all come from the same "sand pile". California mother-lode sand may have more gold than Kansas sand or Mississippi sand. Sand tends to be sourced locally and bagged for Home Depot as near to the point of sale as feasible because it's heavy and expensive to ship.

    • @PioneerPauly
      @PioneerPauly  Year ago +63

      I'm glad you mention that because some of the bags had really fine sand, and others were much thicker. It would be cool to figure out exactly which piles came from where 🤔

      Yup. As soon as you turn a hobby into any type of real "work" it seems to suck the fun right out of it. I have no idea why. I guess it's the lack of freedom to do it how/when you want.

    In Arkansas there is a diamond mine you can buy bags of dirt fro and search for diamonds in it. You can also go there and dig up your own. Its a public mine inside Diamond Mine State Park, they dig it out and spread the dirt out in a huge field for you.

    • @hellurmoto3163
      @hellurmoto3163 Year ago +7

      Thats so cool to know!! Thank you, it’ll probably be closed by the time i make it there but thats something to go on the bucketlist

    • @crabbiecakes5663
      @crabbiecakes5663 Year ago +10

      It's actually not a mine. In that area the kimberlite pipes come up to the surface. It was a farmers field and he gave the land to the state. The park does grade the surface of the field daily I believe so to give people a better chance at finding the diamonds with out having to dig. But you can dig if you want. There was a large yellow diamond found there and Hillary Clinton wore it when her husband was governor of Arkansas.

    • @Marc_Hal334
      @Marc_Hal334 Year ago +7

      Over the decades people have found some great diamonds at that park.

    • @briansmyla8696
      @briansmyla8696 Year ago +21

      The thing is that diamonds aren't rare at all. They only have value because of the labor involved in cutting them and the fact that the deBeers cartel has artificially manipulated the market since they established it.

    The whole gold prospecting experience for me is the excitement of discovery of the hidden gold, minerals and gemstones. Prospecting is a fun hobby that stops being fun when you expect to profit. It's the journey, not the destination that drives my curiosity.

  • @ExtractingMetals
    @ExtractingMetals Year ago +98

    Send me about 10 of those buckets! Also, I’m sure the manufacturer is aware of the presence of Gold. They probably determined it was more profitable to sell the sand without running it through a trommel first.

    • @grantrennie
      @grantrennie Year ago +18

      I worked at a quarry, and the sand was laced with gold to the point that you could see the wash plant run off sparkling at night with a flashlight

    • @ExtractingMetals
      @ExtractingMetals Year ago +12

      @grantrennie I live in a gold bearing region that has 3 sand pits which supply sand for most of the major vendors(you would be surprised how rare construction grade cement sand is). Other than screening it, they do not run it through a wash plant. I suppose your employer was an exception and is probably the ones that sell the pre-washed play sand.

    • @daisypooch4034
      @daisypooch4034 Year ago +5

      They probably run it first to make sure it is clean enough to be sandbox ready! And any profitable gold that is readily available is already been removed.😢

    • @masondegaulle
      @masondegaulle Year ago +1

      Well we clearly have a bracket here to say absolutely without a doubt it isn't even worth the labour, never mind the equipment and maintenance. I assume the sand has already been graded to whatever efficiency to remove a quantity of gold already.

    In 1987 I spent 3 months in Fairbanks, AK. When I was not working I was in the old gold fields for hours slushing tailings with a home made slush, then panning my concentrates in a steel pan and picking out the tiny bits of gold I had. These two guys got much, much more gold from that HD sand. Amazing. I still have the pan, the tweezers and my gold find in a small glass container. And a good memory.

    Is gold really worth it to buy ? In terms of the short term considering taxes and overall cost of upfront purchase then trying to resell when I actually need the liquidity, is physical or gold stocks more worth the cost ? Because it seems to be when people speak of gold their not being specific to the short term or Long term approach to justifying the purchase. Let me know your thoughts , thanks anyone

    • @fadhshf
      @fadhshf Year ago +23

      Only worth it for your long long term investment, short term a guaranteed loss. It's all manipulated and so is Mike bias on gold because that's his business. Always keep that in perspective.

    • @hasede-lg9hj
      @hasede-lg9hj Year ago +5

      Gold is often seen as a safe-haven asset that can protect against inflation and economic uncertainty. But like any investment, it carries risks. To determine if gold is the right investment option for you, an investment advisor can help you weigh the potential benefits and risks of investing in gold. They can also help you create a well-diversified portfolio that includes gold as part of a broader investment strategy. An investment advisor can help you decide how much of your portfolio should be allocated to gold and select other investments that can complement your gold holdings.

    I took a trailer from u haul and filled up the roadside dirt from the pechanga area, when they built the wider onramp, to large scoops in the 6x12 open trailer off to home we go. in the end , i sluiced out all the gold and gold detected the some rocks and in the end, ended up with 8.72 oz of gold out of 4000# of dirt that the contractor was throwing away? the rock got crushed and got extra 1.21 oz out of the crushed rocks, to hell with 64 bags of sand, the area is rich of gold , but since i was removing the dirt with the contractor i didnt get in trouble because this was pechanga casino property,

    Completely wasted almost $400 on the buckets, truck, and fuel. He never needed the buckets cause he could just have poured the sand out of the bags… and he never needed the truck because Home Depot is free same day deliveries for orders even a fraction that size

    I live on the shore of Lake Michigan and find flour gold most every run. I use the Blue Bowl to recover it. Quicker and easier than setting up my sluice.

    There's a Home Depot in northern Arizona which is literally built on top of a very productive placer gold deposit. Panning the dirt at the edges of the parking lot paid well enough to go back multiple times. About $20 per bucket at 2016 gold prices.

    Saw a guy on an outdoor channel do the same thing about 20 years ago. I have found small amounts of gold in some mountain creeks in East Tennessee but nothing near anything worth the time and effort it takes to sort through all the rock and sand. Still fun to do when you have the spare time!

    After watching: HOW did you Over Pay for Play Sand @ $874.50 USD?
    Its only $5.98 per bag and you only purchased 64 bags of Play Sand?
    Buckets you can get FOR FREE from restaurants recycling or trash and Hot water wash them out.

    • @PioneerPauly
      @PioneerPauly  Year ago +1

      The bags were $12-something CAD, and the buckets being right there were just super convenient

    • @SoFreshSoClean2024
      @SoFreshSoClean2024 Year ago

      @PioneerPauly Lowes and Home Depot in USA New England area near Canada have the sake Sand for only $5.98 per 50lb bag of Play Sand.
      Sometimes, Lowes Home Improvement has them on sale for only $3.98 USD per bag.
      Can have it delivered to the U.S. Canada Border line, even with a private mailing address, such as a P.O. Box w/ UPS nearby, and pick it up.

      @pdxyyz4327 Year ago +1

      @SoFreshSoClean2024 A $5.98 bag of sand at current exchange rates is $8.18 Canadian. If in Ontario add 13% sales tax. Then add in delivery fees and it's cheaper to buy it in Canada

  • @alanjameson8664
    @alanjameson8664 Year ago

    About fifty years ago I was in the vicinity of Fairbanks after a particularly snowy winter. Seeing the gold in the sand alongside every stream or river was exciting, although the amount was trifling. Easy to understand people getting gold fever. Upstream of where I currently live, on the San Joaquin River in central California, they built a big dam in the 1940's and gathered the gold, which paid the cost of mining all the gravel.

  • @minuteman-t9w

    In the Arkansas river valley there are large deposits of sand. Around the turn of the last century, 1890s+, in the Witchita area, several companies were formed to dredge for gold. While they revovered moderate amounts, they were never profitable.
