A lot of work goes into an American paydirt seller sourcing an Australian paydirt and bringing it to market in the US. This paydirt was the efforts of not only me but my good friends in Australia who sourced the gold and the dirt. The deep red dirt is rich in iron and was sourced from several rich gold areas near Kalgoorlie in Western Australia and Menzies which is 100km north of Kalgoorlie. This is the dirt that sets Australia apart and will turn your water blood red with the first pan. You won't pan anything like it from here in the US.
The gold was just as challenging to find as there are not a lot of operators running wet plants and looking for the small gold - most prospectors are metal detecting and looking for the next monster gold nugget. All of the gold is genuine Australian and we were fortunate enough to source it from two different operators (one near Kalgoorlie and one in the Palmer River area of Queensland). The gold will range in size from 40 mesh all the way up to the occasional half gram picker and every size in between.
The Guarantee: Every bag will have approximately 15 ounces of red Australian dirt and 3 grams of gold. While we pride ourselves on having some of the highest ROI bags on the market, this paydirt obviously had some substantial costs associated with it. Dirt is heavy, so hauling and packing it 9200 miles means this paydirt bag is more of a novelty and we will price it the best we can considering the costs. For me, this was a goal and a challenge that has been on my mind for several years - mission accomplished and I know my customers will appreciate the unique panning experience.
