Vendor Honesty Test - Alaska Mint Gold Paydirt

[@potatoguy]

It’s 1 am, u gotta get up in 2 hours for work and I’m watching a klesch video. I’m winning in life.

[@Klesh]

Yes you are winning.

[@bendjohans3863]

smiles... looks like someone found a fun way to get rid of his construction dirt from the new house build ;D greetings from bavaria

[@MattFilly]

The difference between the two is amazing you wouldn't think it was from the same vendor.

[@markhubbard9165]

Im so glad you're still producing videos. I started watching Klesh videos at a real dark time and watching your masterful, knowledgeable and careful tutoring. Eventually i got better, but haven't seen anything from you in 2024. I hope your life is going well. Sorry, enough blather: im just gonna enjoy this here video. Thanks!

[@Klesh]

Welcome back!

[@jaybyrdcybertruck1082]

I think if you spend 100$ and get around 70$ or so return in gold, I would say this. Paying 30$ for a chance to pan real gold, from a bag of dirt for the first time would be worth paying for. Especially seeing that its not just all flour gold! there are pickers in there! its super exciting for someone who has never panned gold or just starting! A great way to spend some time with the kids!

[@artbrandon4958]

Alaska Mint is a gift shop in Alaska. The last time I saw someone do their paydirt, it might have been one of Klesh's past paydirt videos, the gold was in a separate little zip lock baggie and had to be added to the paydirt if you wanted the panning experience. Nothing but a tourist trap

[@twodudesonedredge]

Like the ulu factory? Lol

[@artbrandon4958]

@twodudesonedredge yup, only thing, I'm actually Native. The ulus I use are traditional, not white man machine made...

[@guillermodelnoche]

“Let see them in a pan. Nice!” is never not funny. Great video Shane!

[@bamnasitis]

classic moment here

[@Meech616]

[@Cat-Branchman]

Thanks Klesh! I've bought a bunch from you and always been happy with a great return. You're an honest PD broker!

[@Klesh]

Glad you like them!

[@yoshikagekira3879]

Honey wake up, Klesh is panning again

[@superwalt2159]

[@michaelpack7591]

That's funny! As show as he is, you might tell her to wake up, he's finally done panning! 🤪🤣😂😅

[@dougmate2378]

Ahhh the good o'l grey dirt of Alaska. Sure do miss home.

[@seedless-bud]

Hi from HOME! -South East Alaska Take care stay safe and call family

[@Vito_993]

Someone out there realize how to get rid of waste dirt and concrete by selling it with some gold 😂

[@Klesh]

Well it's definitely river gravel with gold in it, I am happy

[@F.O.Cause.U.S]

The decoy material had more glacier silt and volcanic ash. That is why it is grey and hydrophobic.

[@Frommerman]

Those stones look like what you might find in Indiana creeks. Limestone layers flake off fast enough that you don't get so many round stones as flat, jagged ones.

[@riccochet704]

That lighter stuff looks like someone straight up dug up an old stone driveway. One that's been driven on for decades and the stone broke down to silt. And then dumped a shop vac from a stone quarry in there for extra siltyness.

[@PremiumMatt]

Hi bro, have a nice weekend! And same to everyone watching!

[@MakingUsThink]

Just the fact that there is enough viewers to maybe pay your bills and time. Great video. Good job.

[@screwthecabal6453]

Glad you're teaching us about this because I always wondered about them there companies.... 🤔

[@Billdo420]

Love your chill music searches. ❤

[@mikewinings4120]

One thing I like you do most is the honesty test it's really cool thank you for showing and good luck at garage sales😊

[@Klesh]

Big vendor honesty test coming soon 👍⛏

[@twodudesonedredge]

@@Kleshwe can’t wait. Still dredging in Alaska though the ice is pushing us out.

[@3goodtimes3]

I got some gold from vogus in Australia. It took a month and a half to get through customs. I don't blame vogus he sent it two days after the transaction. FYI. Good gold though.

[@Klesh]

Yep Chris always has a fun Paydirt! It does take forever , in my case about 50% of klesh gold Paydirt never make it into Australia without being seized/returned/destroyed.

[@3goodtimes3]

@Klesh that's terrible. U have insurance on it right? In case that happens.

[@Klesh]

@@3goodtimes3 USPS insurance doesn't cover international losses, but they're a tax write off at least. Still, it's the disappointment from the customer and the headache on my end that makes international shipping such a pain (with Gold paydirt specifically).

[@bobross5580]

I haven't watched watched this channel for a while, I am reminded why I watched it to begin with! I enjoy watching this and I think it is time to buy some paydirt for the fun of it🙂

[@Klesh]

Welcome back!

[@Emeraldwitch30]

KZbin has been horrible lately about showing new videos from my subscription list. The best way to check for your favorite channel creators is to click on the subscription button at the bottom of the page. I thought one of the other content creators I watch had stopped posting vids only to see that they stopped putting them in my feed. So i click on subscription at least once or twice a day to double check the line ups. I hope this helps in case some folks dont know this already. I kinda didnt a few weeks ago my grandson showed me

[@Klesh]

Yes the KZbin algorithm punishes certain creators for some unknown reason. I'll just keep making videos, I enjoy it and that's all that matters to me , thanks for watching 👍

[@JosephThomas-t3n]

Sweet , been missing the oanning videos . Like yours the best since its straight to the point and dont try to drag it out for a longer video

[@cornfarts]

We do too

[@Klesh]

Sometime I do 😆

[@AK_Grizz]

Great video! 👍 I enjoyed watching. I have to say I was rooting for the grey decoy paydirt to give more gold.

[@MrInsaint]

Thank you so much sir. 💯👍💯 - I'm a little off today, so your video helped a lot 🙏

[@gijsbesselink]

8:24 I like those sounds :D

[@kevinsutton5580]

Brother Klesh, I Love Your Honesty & Integrity!

[@Klesh]

I appreciate that

[@KrazyMitchAdventures]

14:15 Shane: if you just left a time-lapse video of the Otto settling out, I would probably watch it.. I love your channel, and everything you do. Gotta say: Love the Face Fur, it looks good on you..

[@Boosmoney]

Nice to see you doing gold videos again

[@Klesh]

I haven't stopped, the KZbin algorithm slowed down showing my videos to people lately. It happens

[@WildKatProspecting]

Enjoyed watching how differently they each panned. 😊 Love being part of your 42%!! 😊

[@pedrokaser]

Good to see you back on my recommended, youtube had not popped anything from you in a while...

Nope, never left thanks for watching 👍

[@JohnnyHerron-t2n]

Good video, shows the vendor puts out a good product. Look forward to next video.

[@bill4572]

One of the best paydirt bags I seen you do

[@Klesh]

Definitely not a terrible ROI, and also a lot of diversity and fun there in the different materials. Not the best either but absolutely not a rip off like 90% of the companies out there. I can recommend it for sure

[@vicclementi9752]

For the 150th episode of GPAH you should do a $15,000 pay dirt review @SK! 🤞🏼👍🏼😎🤩

[@rayt8980]

Awsome video. Thanks for sharing. Really enjoy your content.

[@TheCommanderFluffy]

Glad to see it wasn't as crazy nefarious as I was expecting. At worst they wanted to give you a more presentable bag to show off, at best it was totally a coincidence.

[@3goodtimes3]

Awesome video. Love this channel. I know which pay dirt to try.

[@Brooks0511]

the y in weight was about the difference in price gold has risen in the last month

[@Skystrike70]

Great video! Idea for another one: Can you do a video of dry panning where you take material, dry pan it, then do an ordinary wet pan of the material to show how much you lose doing it that way?

[@Klesh]

Great idea!

[@pimpusmane]

That guitar alone is kick ass enough to earn my sub

[@kompressahdnb]

congrats on the 250K subs dude!

[@Brammage]

I went from an old video to this one and boy oh boy that beard looks 🔥

[@annemchurchwell]

Here to the end. Never forget the surfactant.

[@twodudesonedredge]

What does it do ? Lol

[@annemchurchwell]

@@twodudesonedredge surfactant brakes water tension so flower and fine gold don't float off

[@kevinkline6835]

Not bad for a hundred bucks each. The Coarse gold sure is pretty. Stay safe out there and many blessings.

[@FormulaGuppy]

8:24 IS THE BEST SOUNDS IVE HEARD EVER.

[@jonathonrichards3471]

It could be possible that the decoy (grey material) came from an actual mine and the non-decoy (red material) came from a creek/river. That would explain the difference in color and texture.

[@Klesh]

According to the paydirt description, both come from different streams in south central Alaska, so that's all we can go by.

[@kmhmusic123]

This is wild, I liked the part where he panned the gold

[@MillerProspecting]

I reviewed them a while back, and back then they just had the gold in a vial sitting in the dirt, LOL. Was not fun!

[@Klesh]

Wow really? That's like the opposite the reason we buy Paydirt 😆

[@Omnishredder]

I think i have an idea about the honesty test and may even have encountered something crazy... Two elite boxes from scarlet and violet, one of each colour, and the mine packs in violet had a little blue tagging on the back where the flap is, but the scarlet box had green there... The blue stripe set had a higher ratio of EX cards and a higher rarity chance than green... Have bought 18 more recently and believe they're all green, yet to open and investigate

[@Omnishredder]

But I am fairly convinced that the blue tag area on the back isn't nothing considering the vast difference in both rarity and EX cards obtained from equal amounts of packs of both colours... And wish I could prove this or at least influence people to look into this and either confirm or deny this

[@TheSchmed]

The Rolex of paydirt bags, I see you’re sporting a Sub, I have a GMT Master II myself.

[@firechicken455adventures]

Two for one comparison....nice!

[@chinomedina8530]

[@danielthompson7686]

Check 3:22..... rhe Decoy bag was the grey dusty material. I had to rewatch it twice to be sure so yeah yoh defjnately got the samples round the wrong waym the decoy bag was grey and the regular bag was the golden coloured material

[@Klesh]

Correct the grey material is the Decoy bag. Nothing was mixed up or switched around. Either way, both had similar amounts of gold.

[@jasonsmith4591]

Love the video!

[@leemcclennan1118]

Good stuff kidda 👍🏻

[@fictionaltruth8177]

Is it worth crushing the bigger rock material and seeing if there's any gold inside the rocks?

[@Klesh]

If it were a type of gold ore, then yes. This is just placer concentrates from creeks. I have a few other videos where I crush the gold ore to recover gold.

[@robmclaughlin420]

Great video

[@Klesh]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@half_time]

I would guess they have a bunch of premade bags and ship out ones with different weights of gold based on the market. Given you ordered a month apart and the variability… maybe it’s possible. Who knows. Just spitballing

[@mikemartinez193]

Where Krusty Rusty??? Great Video as always!!

[@andrewkellar6511]

Hello. I need tips on how to spot gold in my pan. I live in northeast Georgia so I think it's just flower gold here. But how do I tell flower gold when it's so small?

Is it like crystalline gold when it moves around so easily?

[@Klesh]

Yes it was 👍 very sharp and moved much more in the moving water compared to flat or chunky pieces

[@LawDog79]

Looks like you missed a flake at Center of the pan at timestamp 15:21 and it shows up again at 15:26.

hi I love your videos but I think it's a shame that you don't ship to France.... I think yes is a safer product than others

[@Klesh]

We certainly do ship to France 🇫🇷 Not direct from my website, but on Amazon you can get almost all my Paydirt 👍

[@richardw6592]

So the paydirt bags, your paying for thebgold they throw in weight wize plus whatever real small flake and specs to be picked up by a nice sluice...

[@jojo1308716]

I believe you may have gotten the decoy and the Klesh bag mixed up.

[@Klesh]

100% sure they were not mixed up

[@blackknightcustom]

Time stamp 2:06 picks up dusty bag marked decoy. Time stamp 2:25 both bags opened. cuts to label. 2:34 cut to bag in a pan. You should deal with one bag at a time and label the pans also. I think you switched the bags off camera leading to the confusion.
