Pay Dirt Reviews
Below are actual results of my pay dirt reviews. I have organized the reviews with the best ROI (return on investment) at the top of the page. Value of recovered gold calculated using 24K purity. I have never purchased additional gold that was added to my pay dirt. Results will vary as no two bags of pay will ever be the same. Please compare my results to other pay dirt reviewers for a better sample size.

Purchased from: GoldBay
Product: 3 Gram Chunky Pay Dirt
Cost: $153.90 ($144.95 + $8.95 shipping)
Date of Review: June 2019
Gold Recovered: 2.983 grams
Value: $134.22 at time of recovery
ROI: 87.21%
Notes: Panned multiple times, but I still came up short of the promised 3 grams. Also, the large nugget had a lot of quartz and the 2.983 recovered is actually lower if the quartz could be removed.
