Obsolete Gold Paydirt from a Yard Sale - Tom & Perry's "Golden Dirt Bag"

[@dc2049]

Bought a panning bundle for my son for Christmas and a beginner bag of paydirt. We had a blast panning the pay dirt and found the exact amount of gold in the bag! We’re going to purchase more in the future.

[@michealcook3571]

I believe this is Tom and Perry Massie. Sons of George "The Buzzard" Massie started the GPAA. He was an Amazing man. I grew up watching Gold fever on a public access channel. Great stuff in my opinion. Love all your content too!

[@shiretransportation5547]

I loved watching the buzzard get in his wetsuit and go diving for gold...It was 45 years ago

[@wouldchuck3619]

"Never thought I would get mad at a bag of dirt, but here we are" Classic! Love your videos, keep it up!

[@benardoin]

I’m halfway through my first panning experience. I have to say watching the videos is great, but there’s nothing like finding that first flake. Love it

[@vincedibona4687]

Bought, or dug? I am cheap, my first ‘panning for gold’ experience was me digging up three buckets of dirt and rocks from a creek behind my property. I concentrated it down, panned it out, and found exactly _one grain_ of flour gold. I was disgusted and elated at the same time - my area isn’t known for placer gold and it was my virgin voyage, but to see color and it be so inconsequential… it was bittersweet but nice to know that there is gold in my area, just not enough to be worth a durn.

[@toddwarsaw1382]

Bought some paydirt from you Shane for my daughter. She has been bitten by the gold bug....LOL

[@JMBtimes3]

Some of the biggest gold i have found here in the Willamette Valley was flood gold sitting on organics.

[@waltsadventure]

A few years ago, up in the black hills of South Dakota, I had a local gift me a gallon zip top bag of natural dried creek bed soil. He mentioned he collected it after a flooding event that turned his dry creek into a fast flowing natural creek for a week and brought along a bunch of dirt and debris. He said he came across a thin layer between the hard packed gravel and layer of organic material that had new deposits of gold. And yes, the bag had some gold.

[@Klesh]

Nice!

[@KingMeGG4]

42%er here 😂. Love your videos. I don't even gold pan but have been watching these every night for a week. I can tell you 1 thing if I ever were to order paydirt, it would be from you.🎉❤🎉

[@justanotherveganonyoutube710]

Hell yeah!! Im always in the 42% club

[@rabbiehippo]

Yay this year I found $56 of gold going by your figures... Scottish gold. Since I started I've improved my technique so here's to even more gold next year. Cheers

[@ianakin9328]

Thanks for the consistent videos and explanation of the process!

[@DetectaBull]

Speaking of yard sales (they're called garage sales here in Australia) I do enjoy your yard sales videos.

[@h.Freeman]

We have both... The terms are generally interchangeable

[@Kalroy3936]

yard sale is usually house stuff. garage sale is generally more tools at least in my area of USA. but both terms are used.

[@nexus3d5]

we have yard sales, garage sales, estate sales, family sales, liquidation sales.. etc all are interchangeable.

[@TKs3DPrints]

i was just thinking the same as you was running your fingers through it " i bet they opened it then after put a shovel of garden soil and sell at the yard sale.. now back to the video lol. omg there was gold in there.. wow yes as you say it was not worth it and not much of an experience..

[@firechicken455adventures]

Good gold, but bad dirt. Weird stuff. Thanks for sharing Shane.

[@johnjacobs1625]

Thx for the video Brother Shane! Happy New Year Bud! Cheers JJ

[@jannacoogle6582]

Hello, from Florida. Another great video thank you

[@chrischarland8288]

I'm in jax. I wanna go to north Georgia to try my hand at panning

[@MatthewHardin-m7q]

Man! Now I gotta go pull out my Gold Fever DVDs.

[@ErikDRed1]

I bought the beginner kit and a bag of the gold blast paydirt yesterday.

[@TechGorilla1987]

For Christmas, I got a Gold Bay 1 gram bag with an extra gram added. I opened the bag, dumped it in a pan and while baked and using a finger in dry dirt, I pulled up 1.20g in pickers without even classifying a thing. It was at that point where I realized that the last gold I got from Dave has increased by $20 a gram in value. I love gold.

[@TheMetalDetective1]

Let’s do this! Also, “Golden dirt bag” was my nickname in high school 😂

[@GeorgePsaros-d9g]

Not long ago not too far from my location which is pure suburbia, someone known to our community collected garden topsoil ( best way to describe), there was a respectable amount of wire gold found !! After eons of depositions , the shiney shouldn’t surprise it can be anywhere……. even homemaker centre sand bags !!!! A surprise !!??

[@rayt8980]

Great video. Really enjoy your channel. Always informative. Looking forward to seeing more.

[@BillyLarsen-b5i]

Good evening from belfast northern Ireland really enjoy watching your vids

[@mikeparadise5024]

Love the show got the gold bug from the Saturday gpaa buzzard tv show

[@timsmith9645]

Great video nice little gold thanks for sharing klesh

[@lesterleporesr5228]

Probably accurate, Bro', GPAA was Always a bit "Commercial"😆😄👍

[@TheMcEwens419]

I enjoy you so much! I’ve learned a lot!

[@chinomedina8530]

Cool. Another amazing video!!!

[@chrischarland8288]

Hey klesh I love your content. I've never panned before and was hoping on getting your dort

[@DAdamTrammell]

Another fun video. Thanks!

[@PATTHECATMCD]

Presumably the deluxe version of the Teenage Dirt Bag. :) Yes I am drunk currently.

[@MurrayRiversGoldAdventures]

When you getting out onto a creek/River

[@bestfan993]

Appreciate the videos

[@CharlieMurphyProstpecting]

very cool!

[@JamesCrisp-iq4cs]

Another awesome video ✌️🙂👍

[@philcourteney4328]

7:52 I’m having a real shit time right now mate, and that gave me my first laugh in weeks! Thank you 😁👍

[@shawn1744]

I hope your coming to PA...... Please.. lol. Berks county. We could meet up at Cabalas anyone near here. would be great. I do metal detecting also.

[@Klesh]

Just did a few videos over there, but I visit PA a few times a year. I have a US tour coming in 2025 so im sure I'll be back in the northeast

[@h.Freeman]

I asked for klesh but got bobby bo instead. Exactly 1 grain....what are the odds... still grateful though

[@Paulie7777]

Klesh, your pony tail is so pretty!!! 🤗

[@robfowler7858]

Hey Klesh, love your videos. Haha it's called a "Golden Dirtbag", can't tell you how many times I been called a dirtbag lol. Where can I get gold pans or highbanker for a really decent price? As cheap as possible, I wanna find enought to have turned into a wedding ring

[@AylisCrescent]

Maybe it's my eternally optimistic, looking at the bright side of things talking here, but I can see a value in that dirt. Like it might not be good for training for a person looking to really delve into gold finding. I can see a really young child having a lot of fun with this bag. They can slosh it around, make a mess and not lose any gold. Yeah, I can see it as a fun activity for a small child.

[@Klesh]

Yeah, I think you're right, it could be fun for a kid.

[@screwthecabal6453]

I was shopping at savers thrift store in salt lake city Utah and they had a bag of paydirt with a pan. That was about 5 years ago. I plan on learning to pan this weekend. On the package it started "2 to 4 grams guaranteed" in this bag . I guess I'll find out.

[@Klesh]

Send it to me , I'll make a video and send everything back. If you want, email me, all info in the description 👍⛏

[@goldpanvanman]

Another great video

[@screwthecabal6453]

Got screwed! That was the name of a band I played with on the underground scene. Mostly grunge but some rap.

[@Raymail-tj4cf]

I really don’t know much about bags but maybe it is for easy finding.

[@Klesh]

It's just a lack of consideration for the customer if you ask me.

[@Jan-f5d]

Hi, I'm currently watching a lot of your videos. This one has been sadly auto dubbed by KZbin if you watch from Germany. As far as I understood this is a new default option you can disable in youtube studio. Please consider disabling auto dubbing, because the original versions are way better than the AI auto dubbed versions. Thanks for all the great content!

[@Klesh]

I will check it out

[@UtoniumJock]

Thanks Shane though it seems the return would have been much greater given it was purchased at a yard sale. You didn't account for that, did you find out for how much? If it were bought for $5 that would more than tripple the amount of return today and still a profit back then. 😅

[@Klesh]

Haha didn't even consider that angle.

[@stevenhigby3512]

I guess that’s going to remain a mystery. I guess they wanted to make it easier for the beginner.

[@KnuckleBuster]

Why not use the gold slayer miller table again???

[@Klesh]

I am just much more efficient at using hands and pans than the miller table. Thanks for watching!

[@frum1958]

Nice!

[@halfmeout]

The previous owner could have easily panned it and missed some then put it back. These bags were meant for learning.

[@Devin_Dunphy]

42% whoop whoop 👍🇨🇦

[@refresherrefreshed2966]

Its a training kit, teachers can be wrong,,Its the experience that they we're going just not outlined as a topsoil or gravel black sand..How you get there..Remember if it says training take it for itself..Yes salted butt just for you..I think this demonstrates the difficulty of Surprise

[@joenavarro8290]

I moved from Butte to anaconda mt . If you come through this area when you cruise the country let me know.I can show you some cool stuff up here, and I would like to tell you about cool stuff in Colorado Springs area.

[@Slim_T_ODB]

I have a silly question. I live south Louisiana. Right next to my house there is a very old natural river. Would it be a complete waste of time to try and find ANY gold from panning it? It would be just for fun obviously so finding a flake would be awesome. But I'm not sure if it's even remotely possible

[@toddwarsaw1382]

There is always a possibility to get gold from a creek

[@brianblank9921]

#1, do research. I googled "does Louisiana have gold" and the answer is yes, but in what appears to be fairly limited areas, mostly to the north. It does seem to have at least one area to the south, so you might be lucky.

[@clintoncollum838]

Never a waste of time. Even if there isn't any gold, you might find something else even more surprising.

[@clintoncollum838]

Make sure to classify and examine the rocks too. Louisiana has precious opal too.

[@pokerdealer2003]

They named it Dirt Bag, at least they were honest.

[@starman10548]

MAYBE THEY WERE DOING THAT TO MAKE IT EASIER TO PAN FOR NEWBIE MEMBERS. GREAT VIDEO.

[@cyclonicsilver2773]

Klesh, I love watching your videos and I have tried panning (after watching your tutorial) and yet I just get irritated. Would you be interested in me sending you the stuff I have panned before to see if I possibly missed anything?

[@donaldscott7279]

Still a good video

[@bradlauk1419]

"let's get that out on to a pan"

[@DetectaBull]

Nice

[@jabaricathcart7814]

It still should be called in to the paydirt police

[@rtmiv2030]

Newbie here, can someone tell me what "GPAA" is that he references the soil came from? Thanks

[@triple_A_rockhound]

Ya that dirt way to light I did 1 of gpaas bags its very Simler

[@DjLadywolf]

You have someone named lofting correra doing reels not giving you credit it's the video of you doing sidewalk cleaning looking for gold and jewels

[@Jayandhis25cents]

Hey there 👋

[@MK-ji5ri]

Ok I'm from Germany and usually watch KZbin in English wich is fine by me. This video automatically started in the AI German sincro version. Happend for the first time on a video I watched, and well this AI version is not bad😂. But they kepped "Krusty Rusty" original so everythings fine😅 Krusti Rosti wäre auch doof

[@glentimmins7560]

Maybe one of there kids got to make it??

[@EagleRun23]

hahahaha 6:04

[@vincedibona4687]

As soon as we hear “Crusty Rusty”, the music starts and it’s so dang soothing! Shane, is that you picking those strings, both banjo and guitar? We all hear you say you really don’t play, but you build guitars, so we know you know a few chords and phrases… 😉👍🏻😃

[@ExaltedwithFail]

I dunno, $15 a bag and it was listed as "beginner" training dirt so maybe thats why it was so easy. Just something to give a total novice a go at finding gold

[@jabaricathcart7814]

Haha just joking but I hope that’s not some old gold schlager that someone thought to mine . After they went #2

[@johnslugger]

Calling Tom and Perry "Dirt bags" was what I thought this video was going to be about. Too Bad,,,,*

[@lionofjuda6941]

Go dirt

[@thepostofficeprince8819]

ROI?? It’s not an investment if you lose money every time..

[@nickadimouse1]

Yeah but that bag now, with inflation would be like 25$

[@ernestedwards4073]

1st 👍 Hi EVERYONE

[@ManMountainMetals]

Cool that you complained a beginner bag is too easy. It was almost watchable if you'd STFU for just a minute.

[@Klesh]

Says the guy with a video titled "Casting Fake Silver Bars to Sell to Suckers on eBay".

[@taylorwatson9023]

those pay dirt bags are a rip off most of the time you don't even get what you paid for sense all the gold in the dirt is placed there by the seller its not even virgin dirt so why even buy it if you can't make a little money off it also

[@jacobbevers8171]

You said it…your spoiled

[@annemchurchwell]

698th like lol

[@colddeadhands5167]

Appreciate your work....

[@oreesama22]

so much for "training" gold pay dirt, thanks for the video
