Frequently Asked Questions
What is gold paydirt?
Gold paydirt is gravel and sand that contains real gold, sourced from mines, rivers, or other natural deposits. It is typically used by prospectors and hobbyists who enjoy panning for gold at home. Our paydirt is carefully screened to ensure a fun and rewarding experience!
How much gold is in each bag?
The amount of gold in each bag varies depending on the type of paydirt you purchase. Please check the product descriptions for additional details.
Is the gold in your paydirt real?

How do I pan for gold with your paydirt?
Panning for gold is simple and fun! Just fill a pan with a small amount of paydirt, submerge it in water, and gently swirl to wash away lighter materials. The heavier gold will settle at the bottom of the pan, ready for collection.
Do I need any special equipment to pan for gold?
