30 Pound Box Of EXTRA SPECIAL Gold Panning PaydirtFrom The Cargo Muchacho Mountains in California NOW SHIPPING ON TUESDAYS & FRIDAYS! *Why pay for water? All of our paydirt is DRY. We would NEVER sell wet, soggy dirt! Nugget and I collect, haul and store our California paydirt in 5 gallon buckets. We scoop the dirt out to fill our orders and we have now started to save the last bit from the bottom of each bucket to sell off in random Special Auctions . This special auction is for a JUMBO 30 POUND BOX of this extra special Bottom of the Barrel paydirt from California. IMPORTANT! Ebay is getting very strict with feedback. In other words, a feedback score of less than 5 is very negative. Please remember: #1. We don't give you a song and dance routine. We tell you WHERE our paydirt comes from. This paydirt does not come from a sand and gravel pit just down the street from our house. Just like when we are up in Idaho or at Rich Hill in AZ, we are camped out in a very remote area where the mailman does not visit. We need to take the paydirt to the post office and it is a long way over some very rough roads. Therefore, we usually only ship out paydirt on Fridays but throughout the holiday season we will be mailing out our paydirt on Tuesdays and on Fridays. All bags that are paid for on or before Monday get shipped out on Tuesday and all items that are bought and paid for on or before Thursday get shipped out on Friday. Nugget and I have given up many of the comforts most people enjoy but we love what we are doing. I find that being able to provide an authentic prospecting experience to those who otherwise couldn't do so is very rewarding. We have done a lot of research and covered many many miles searching for good places to find gold. You can do yourself a favor and help us by buying a bag of our paydirt. He is much bigger now but here is a photo of Nugget at 8 weeks... #2. Also Important! You are buying a bag of dirt. The placer gold nuggets you find will vary in size from small micro nuggets to pickers or small nuggets. We use a 1/2" screen to keep the larger rocks out and if you get really lucky you could find a nugget that big. If you can't give us a feedback score of 5 for item description then please do not bid. This is what it is, a bag of unique paydirt from the Cargo Muchacho Mountains. We add a little gold so nobody gets skunked but everyone has a real chance at finding a few pickers or a nice nugget because there is real gold here and we do not go through the dirt before we ship it out. #3. Last but not least, this paydirt will ship in a Priority Mail Flat Rate Box just like in the picture. We charge exactly what it costs us to bag it up, pack it and ship it out. If you can't give us a feedback score of 5 for reasonably priced shipping then please do not bid. We are not shipping daisies here. We are shipping heavy boxes of dirt with real placer gold in it. Having said all that... The Spanish were the first to discover the Cargo Muchacho gold back in 1780. That was before California was even established. "Cargo Muchacho" means Loaded Boy. Legend has it that two Spanish boys discovered gold here and came back to their camp with their pockets full of gold. There are many gold mines in and around the Cargo Muchacho Mountains including the American Girl Mine, the Golden Cross Mine, the Hedges and Tumco Mines, the Padre Madre Mine and the Golden Bee. In 1914, Tumco was the 2nd largest gold mine in the US but the gold produced at the American Girl Mine eventually surpassed them all. We have taken many samples from this area and tested them for gold. Last year, we found several areas which contained a promising amount of gold and finally came upon some exposed bedrock which held some nice gold and other heavy minerals. We had lots of happy customers last year and we expect this year to be even better. We will continue digging at this spot again this year. *The gold we find here comes fro... read more
