I learned my lesson - NEVER do this for a video! 

hey! i have a question! what got you into gold panning + treasure hunting? love your videos so much! your paydirt videos are so satisfying. hoping one day to try gold panning myself :)

Yeah that vendor is a swindler. His websites are cringe clickbait and pop-ups. It's a pure rip-off, but it can only happen if the buyer breaks the Golden Paydirt Rule: Guaranteed amounts Only!!! (Miners Depot would be the only exception to this rule that I know of.) PS: We are loving the re-releases

Your humbleness and willingness to learn from your mistakes is a great virtue to have and spread to others. The integrity of your channel and your actions is one of the many reasons I proudly subscribe to you.

I received a free bag from them due to a drawing. It was not even worth the time to pan it. I hope that company either goes under or starts doing the right thing.

You should get the decoy bags and the bags you get from the company so you can reap the rewards of the channel! it would also keep the vendors in check that way!!

WOW! I can't imagine how many people they have scammed, including me! I'm so grateful for your videos and honesty! You make this adventure worth the effort and time. I'm learning a lot and soon ready to hit the road and start my own search for gold. Thanks again! You the BOMB!

I guess home depot play sand would be good practice for newbies for panning

Hey Shane, I am glad that you replayed this video. I have taken what I have learned from watching your videos. I haven't purchased any pay dirt's since I purchased your paydirt. I have been going to my creeks and rivers that are a couple of hours ride to collect samples to pan at home as our state is pan and shovel only. I collect my samples with a classifier, bucket and shovel. I haven't found anything big but still searching for that special place. Keep up the good work and producing informative videos. Happy hunting and stay safe. Till the next video.

Hey Shane . It's not the Quality of the Video or the Sound that's important . It's the Quality of the Creator and you are Aces in my Books . Thanks again for Sharing . From Vancouver Island . Hope the Wild Fires have not affected you to much . Stay Safe Bro !

When did you switch from dish soap to jet dry? Love the fact you realized you were being catfished!

I imagine this experience greatly contributed to your decision to use a proxy when buying your pay dirts (you may address this in the video, I’m just a couple minutes in). I hate how some companies just see the almighty $ and not that quality products are more worth it. Thank you for being you! It’s refreshing 😁

Thank you for that list of dirt bags. Literally dirt bags. Good video

I only bought from them once, same thing they sent an extra bag (I’m not a RU-vidr so I’m not sure what the deal is), haven’t processed it yet so we will see how it goes

And on this video we actually see the difference between the 20 mesh and the kitchen strainer, as I asked about in the last video 🙂

Hey dude, love watching your vids. Watched just about all your stuff besides mushroom foraging. Your content is always so relaxing, especially after a long day's work. Keep up with the great stuff! Here's a c note for you to try more paydirts!

The minute I saw those bags I knew that it was a scam! I mean, I grew up in a big gold region in Australia, and we'd go panning all the time. Also, I'm a mother (and grandmother) and I know sandpit sand anywhere! And even then, it still looked cleaner than when you buy it from Bunnings! (Our version of Home Depot). It actually looked like that paydirt dodgy mob had actually gone through it, washed and dried it,, then re-packaged it! Way too clean! I'm so glad that there's good people out there like yourself that are calling these thieves out! Your a good egg there Shane!! I hope to see some more of your videos. I really like the yard sale jewellery hunting ones. 😎🎸💰🇭🇲

Yea totally loaded I have NEVER got that much gold from a bought bag of paydirt . Your videos have came along way for sure. glad you called this vendor out. lets others know the truth. keep up the content. I like watching what you get.

Bought from them one time. They said a museum quality nugget in every bag, buy one get one free, there was maybe one flake in every bag and some specks, I was not happy with them

It’s funny I just came across this video and I’ve been binge watching your videos. I love them. I just now got into panning and I just bought a automatic spiral machine and I actually got one of your bags. I am actually subscribed to your monthly subscription and I love it. Your bag was awesome. I enjoyed doing it. It was great, but I am not happy with this company.

you should do a gold dig with your viewers I'm sure lots of us live here in CO near your area and would love to just hang out and pan for gold :D Golden is like 30-40 min away.

Sadly, I purchased a couple bags of their paydirt a couple years ago. Out of the 3 bags of their dirt, I had about .25 grams! It was fun to pan but not worth the effort overall.

Great video, Shane! Im curious what your favorite pay dirt smell is? Youre always saying the different dirts have different smells. Thanks for posting this!

Good old krusty, the only rusty piece of metal that is worth its weight in gold. 24k at that. I swear I now wait to hear the words that he's coming out and smile when I see old trusty do his thing.

These are the guys who shipped me a dirt bag and I pulled a nice nugget and every time I got a bag from them, I would only get a few grains. I spent 800 and only got 3grams As opposed to Lynch mining, where I really got my money's worth. This company brought lynch out and now they only guarantees a couple of grains

I've purchased this paid dirt on two different occasions and barely got a quarter of a gram.

Crusty Rusty in his prime! Thanks for sharing Shane

I'm new to panning and prospecting and have been watching your videos on paydirt. This video will save me a lot of disappointment. I have also learned a lot from you and ordered a kit and paydirt. thank you and have a great day

Years ago I bought from Golden Worst paydirt ever

That sucks they set out to make you implicit in skunking people...🤬🤬🤬 Glad you picked up on it and set things right 🤘😎🤘

Funny thing about golden paydirt.. I use to buy from them and I had multiple bags there were just a spec ot two.of gold. Never any good pans of gold. Not even moderate. That's when I found out about klesh gold guaranteed gold.

I'm glad you mentioned it because when I was watching you stratify a thought in this video and the one before maybe that it looks like you had maybe not gotten it flowing enough

I have horrible panic disorder, and this channel actually got me into prospecting panning and now sluecing and highbanking here in Oregon!! Just wanted to say thank you for introducing me to this hobby in my free time it's super tedious and forces you to focus, and my panic attacks have gone down significantly and you don't know what that means to me!! Thank you again!! I have a high stress career, but my time off literally clears my head now!

Ya they set you up. Glad you decided to do it differently.

I was thinking you should have used Otto for that much dirt at once.

I have no idea what to do. Plus we didn't know hot it looked in a pan. I am losing my mind. My question is, other than Epoxy Rocky (crusty rusty) and Otto from auto zone, does any more of your equipment have a fun name?

Thanks for sharing! Why would a paydirt vendor need that many different names in the first place? There are so many GOOD paydirt companies out there under one name!

If you had one paydirt to be able to pan out for the rest of you life what paydirt would it be.

When you remove the black sands, why don't you run the magnet over first at distance, dump the magnetics and then go into the paydirt for a 2nd go? You always check what you've collected and go straight in and I presume already having black sands on the magnet it can only help to trap more non black sand material

Great video Klesh thank u for taking. Your time to make it for us to view

I remember this video. Been watching you for such a long time. Great video, Shane.

Thanks for the entertainment and knowledge. Man, you coulda teamed up with them and ripped a lot of us off.Awesome that you didnt.When I started they were the only company I knew of and bought 3 bags before I first seen one of your videos and learned my lesson.I appreciate these videos and your paydirt,keep doing you.

I love how straight up and honest you are! You’re just so awesome!😊

I recently Aug 2024 bought their paydirt buy 3 get 3. free. Never have i felt like i was cleaning up some ones junk tailings more than this paydirt made me feel. Yes i found gold. But it came as 1 bag not 6 bags. No micro gold and i even crushed the excessive rock that came with it.

I can't believe HOW many different names they go by. Wish there was some way to stop them from going under some many different names. How can anyone outside of your vids keep up? Thanks for the info 😊

I was surprised you did that in the sink easy way to fill that trap with grit with the spill over

This is off topic but it reminded me of something that happened about 5 years ago. I was buying random cheapo $5- $20 bags of paydirt off eBay from private sellers and it mostly came in sandwich baggies lol. Anyway I actually ordered a bag from Israel for under $20 dollars total including shipping, it took like 3 weeks to arrive and it had a bunch of cool foreign stamps on the envelope. But it was absolutely loaded with gold! It had something like .75 grams in it and it was all locked up in these rock hard dirt clods that took some work to get broken down and stratified. It was wild, I never saw the seller post anymore pay dirt afterwards. I've often wondered what the deal was with that. At the time gold was around $50 a gram so I more than doubled my money on that bag. I've never had anything close to that happen with pay dirt since and don't expect to either.

I got rolled too Klesh .... Do not buy from this company viewers... Buyer Beware!

I wonder, how much gold could be panned out of the washed down Mississippi Delta in the Gulf of Mexico? Just how my brain works🤔

How much money has this guy made out of this? Playsand and a couple flakes, his advertisements are EVERYWHERE! Has to be millions.

Honestly when I first discovered this channel I was surprised it hadn’t happened already; from a money perspective I could pay you to advertise my paydirt, load it so it seems that you break even/have little loss then actually sell plain old dirt. Dont blame you just scummy people 🤷‍♂️

Complete garbage.. Never purchase paydirt from this vendor!

But I also wanted to know if you ever heard of the company and or channel AuAlchemist I pretty much started the channel Tennessee walkers prospecting off of their products I have spent almost $150 and have gotten tons of stuff but I'm not sure of the value yet. But I have made a few videos and shorts tagging them showing the coins stones and gifts they send out in almost every bag. But another reason I like them is because the video they have up which I believe is I'm Colorado dude they are in a bus sized Boulder yes inside this thing has a hole in it and it's I swear to GOT 6 men deep! And that's crazy but the send you toms of tumbled stones and stuff it's fun for the family if your not all about the gold

I remember this. It have you pretty lit like that played your viewers. You double down on your security after that lol I remember well

I bought a few bags from them when I started panning, huge waste of time and money. I don't even think I got .1g, and alot of flower gold..

With the play sand and the massive amount of gold they gave you in a $35 bag this was quite obvious to be fair. Especially considering they were the ones who reached out and sent it for free in return for advertisement. I'm shocked the original vid of this ever even got as far as the editing stage, when the scam was so blatant. Even when you pulled that nugget out I was in shock that you were so casual about it being in such a cheap bag of paydirt. Glad you saw the mistake and corrected your error once you realised though, takes a real man to admit when he was wrong and to help teach others not to make the mistake.

Ive never received any of the stuff you got im so glad ive found your site so informative ive never got alot of gold oh and right now ive been waiting for a order from them for over a week but since buying garentied baga there so much better all ive spent their ive never got pickers and its so dirty and full of Mika your stuff there is not what i get at all. .lol ive been buying for 6 month's i am waiting for a 150 dollar order and noy ive been taken to i fill I do get alot of quarts thoe i will say i classified it and buy seeying your list and i have bought some of the others and been disappointed But i have bought different ones and was very happy. Lol lol maby ill sell you all my gold. .. Thanks love your videos and I have just found it ❤

I did one from this company was a waste of time. Thanks for sharing cheers from Canada!

yeah I bout like 300 bucks worth of pay dirt from them and my roi was like 10% really bad I even called him up to complain

This is who I bought my first ever bag from and it was complete garbage. It would be cool to see these older reviews gone back over with a new bag from each vendor to see if anything has changed over the years.

what WOULD be the best company to buy paydirt from?

Jan 18th 2018, my 14th birthday ahahaha, love it❤️

Adds from that company come up in my FB feed constantly. A quick look at the comments will tell you all you need to know.

But I want to email you to show you the screenshots and some of the stuff I've gotten from a few different vendors

That was some immaculate panning! I agree with the larger tub but you definitely got that gold clean.

Tell your doggo to stop lookin into my soul! Love your vids though brother.

It's hard to tell how much money they made....sad

0:31 I love your guitar behind you. The wood is just beautiful!

Chocolate milk anyone? Lol thats what it looked like

ahh back when Crusty Rusty was just a young lad

I thought they sent it all free for a review? Why look for a receipt?

There thieves

Nice tie dye brother! Great video too!

Great video, good information .

Like the panning in the kitchen sink.

Thanks again shane tbat is a great. Wake up call

Every gold panning review-channel hates this company. So I am Amazed that they'r still no.1 paydirt on amazon. I wouldn't buy a pair of socks from these guys. But the melody in the background in all your videos. What is that? You playing, or a melody you're just fond of? It's very soothing. Even for a Metal Head like me.

Love Timber, he's so cute.

Thank you for the heads up

Been workin. Workin hard

I learned the hard way too my man , I'm embarrassed to say I've gave theme somewhere around 500 $ before I started looking into your channel and others who review and realized I was a sucker being hoodwinked. Ohh and on this bags subject , I have a hunch that motherlode mining is same company just changed name and packaging but have alot of similarities, the mtn background logo on this motherlode mining is same goldnpay use on some of bags , their is so much in common between the 2 in advertisement its high possibility . I have 5 jars expected this week in bundle orders they offer .if I get similar results in gonna call theme out on trying to look different.

Ouch … good thing you took it down

They are a big scam!

Got a question for ya Klesh. What is a good resource for finding area for prospecting/treasure hunting?

200th comment!

Come on mr pocket.

Such a cute puppy.

You should buy 2 bags one bag by a third party the other bag by your account and see if he company is trying to hype or scam there clients. It would show what company really is honest

Totally off topic but please tell me about your jewellery box. I am in Australia and my 63 year old dad has the exact same one.

How many garbage disposals have you destroyed in your rentals??

Whats your preferred method for fine gold/black sands clean up?

Crap your list just went by and motherlode was on it 😢. Atleast it was a so called sale bundle for play sand . . Ill classify once and throw the smallest in blue bowl and remainder threw banjo and tailings from that threw a gold claw pan and send the wet remains back with a cat terd in it still wet

Hey Shane Do you plan on painting your table again Can't wait for the episode where you debut the painted table

I tried this vendor, bought some from 3 different sources, Amazon, eBay, and directly from them. I believe the 7 bags I got a grand total of .54 grams. It was 2 medium bags and 5 small bags but hardly any return, it took a lot of fun out of panning from home

woow awesoem ;)

Nice dog 🐕 😊

Hey, Shane. On video number 12, your point was well taken. There is an unmentioned silver lining, though…I alway obsess about missing gold so usually pan it two or three times. Your comments about stratification putting the gold at the bottom and then doing it so well really set my mind to rest. Masterful demo! PS: I’m not yet so proficient, so will probably repan whenever I don’t find amounts of gold the equal or exceed the guaranteed minimum. You emphasized buying only when a minimum is guaranteed, paying close attention to wording, and repanning abundantly clear in episode 78 when panning three times over recovered only $0.37 in gold! Episode 78 was so insightful (as are so many other episodes), that I decided to switch from subscriber to patron. As always, I’m impressed with the quality of your work. M.Dressel

Whoop whoop 42%

Yeah goldn is crap. I got more gold out of a Klesh Krums bag than I got out a goldn (play sand) 2lb bag

Everything else aside it's amazing how much your video quality has gone up from back then. Great stuff!
