1 bag containing approximately 1/2 pound of gold paydirt
A guaranteed minimum of 0.2 gram of gold within the material
Gold pan, classifier, snuffer bottle, vial, and other prospecting equipment are not included.
The weight of the paydirt may vary because of moisture content, material density, component ratios, and other natural factors. The approximately one-half-pound description is not a guaranteed net dirt weight. The guarantee applies only to the minimum gold content of 0.2 gram per bag.
Gold may appear as fine particles, flakes, or other small pieces. No particular particle count, flake size, nugget size, purity, or resale value is guaranteed.
Gold paydirt is sold as an educational and recreational prospecting experience—not as an investment. The market value of the recovered gold may be less than the purchase price. The real value is in practicing your skills and enjoying the experience of finding gold.
Paydirt is not a toy or food product. It may contain dust, sand, sharp mineral fragments, and small particles that present eye, inhalation, or choking hazards. Use adult supervision, wear eye protection when appropriate, avoid breathing dust, and wash your hands after handling.
Buying paydirt is a great way to hone your gold prospecting skills, learn how to pan, and how to tune in your gold prospecting equipment.
These bags include not less than .2 Grams of gold and about a half pound of paydirt.
*The density, moisture content, mix ratio of components, and other factors means the weight of the paydirt will vary. The guarantees pertain only to the amount of gold in the shipment.

Probably the best paydirt I’ve ever bought. Bought several and never disappointed.
I don't know where High Plains gets this pay dirt but it is way better than any I have purchased from other sources. I only bought three little 1/2 lb. bags and found several small pickers and lots of dust. I won't be buying from anyone else in the future!
Gold Paydirt - 1/2 lb - Guaranteed Gold!
Bought a small bag and was shocked to see the nice flakes. Panned it and sluiced it several times just for fun. Will buy again
Good experience for the paydirt purchased. Got 2 grams of gold that was guaranteed. Will purchase some more.
