I just ordered a "Ye Olde Mining Co Paydirt JUMBO 4kg" bag off ebay to test out my new dryblower. I will let everyone know if it is any good. Cost me $82 for a 4kg bag. Guarantees gold apparently....

I've recently gotten a 2 kg bag of their's and yes it had decent gold in it. From very fine to picker size gold. Your blower may blow out the fine gold. Do it on a tarp and re- pan it.

I plan on doing it onto a tarp quite a few times as the dry blower is going to need quite a bit of fine tuning. My aim is to catch most of the fine stuff. How much gold do you reckon you got out of the 2kg bag?

About .5g

Just thought I'd share the results of a trailer full of Balarrat Gold pay dirt.
There was gold to be found in every pan. It was well worth it to cure the bug whilst at home. Also worthwhile to work on panning skills.

That looks great mate. Nice panning.

Great to see Maddogmat :Y:
Good job panning.
I still have a long way to go to finish panning the trailer load I bought, but looking ok so far.

Hey Flowerpot how are you going with the floating gold? I never thought there was such a thing until I saw it with my own eyes. A lirrle bit of dishwasher finish broke the surface tension to keep it down. Doing some reading it seems to happen with crushed rock. Probably not worth worrying about as the squirt of finish probably cost more than the mico fine gold dust.

Hi mdm, The half dozen or so pans I've panned so far, I have done with soapy water, I've only had a few specks in each pan, so no floaters. The rest of the load is sitting under a tarp keeping dry until I can stop procrastinating and get on with panning it out.
You're results look really good, might be enough to get me out to pan the rest.

Hi Tom.
Are you still selling the concentrates? I'm interested in buying a bag or two for my son to get interested in our upcoming adventure
Thanks :idea:
