Let customers speak for us
We panned a second bag of this paydirt, we arrived at 1.32 this go around. While not as much as our first we still had a great time and the gold was easily seen though the crumbly mica fragments made it very difficult to see the tiny bits was more of a challenge and yes i know we missed some due to the sheer amount of other shiny but is still so much fun
Outstanding service
Hope to use this next year
Well i was rather impressed, got my bag and opened it had some friends watch out for gold and triple panned every spoonful and we ended up with 0.172 worth of gold or so the scale said.
Almost don't want to wear them to a dirt party ....just kidding will wear the heck out of them...
Only four because haven’t used it yet
Easy process with no hassles.
I have A black and 2 grey shirts. They are stylish and the embroidery is superb. Would really liked to see the back embroidery about 1” or 2” larger so not so discrete.
The pricing is right on for this shirt. Compared to the non-embroidered shirt at local large vendor, the added pricing and mark up for the embroidery is very reasonable.
Awesome pick. Really strong metal, the length of taper from pick side is perfect to wedge out a crack in bedrock. Downside is the handle, it is flat and narrow. Kind of difficult to keep a steady grip without it trying to spin during the swing. BUT its not a difficult task to place wood on both sides and rivet it like a knife handle. It then held great in the hand. Very well worth the money even with the modification.
This is a beast, cuts into ground with ease. Note: this pick is heavy, the head is most of the weight, best to be in great shape swinging this. Up side it wont take many swings. Magnet is crazy strong. Had it in metal kawi mule bed standing up, I was driving through all kinds rough terrain and the pick never fell over.
The sour patch bag came with my order isn't something I do (buy paydirt) but I was already ordering anyway, and it came w/ the order. Kind of fun seeing a little gold when it's 5° out
Seems to be good for the price of it haven't used it yet though
Really well made little pick great for price
Works great helped me find a little nugget. I'm happy
good panning bag had quite a few flakes
