Greetings Mr. Jackson,
I have been selling panning concentrates for over twenty years and have been an LDMA member for a few years longer. The bags we sell are "salted" so we can guarantee the amount of gold in the bag. We have two different amounts we sell but can also make up any amount you like. We have at least one picker nugget and the flakes are pretty course compared to what you may find in the field, depending where you go. The objective we hoped to achieve was with modest panning skills, our customers could recover almost all of the gold in the bag. They are excellent for the beginner. We do recommend panning into another container then see if you missed any. I always pan my concentrates that way as well. I do consider myself a skilled panner, but I am still surprised once in a while that some got away.
As you can see from some of the comments above, you will find a variety of costs and gold amounts. I have been told by a number of our customers, we offer one of the better values of cost to gold amount. We have one customer that has ordered a bag of our panning gravel every month since Sept., 2009
We have been advertising in the GPAA magazine classifieds for some time now. We are currently NOT in EVERY issue. Should be in the Sept/Oct issue.
If you would like additional information, Please write us at: DreaMail - PO Box 1790 - Fairview, NC - 28730
Regardless who you buy from, enjoy.

Mr. Lynch,
This is a clear advertisement of your company and in the gold mining industry there is a sucker born each and every minute. It is clear you are selling concentrates (Fairy Dust?) and if I read your post correctly you have bought a great deal of your own concentrates and done well, I do think most of us would like to have the earth seeded for us by mother nature, but I myself do buy concentrates at times just so I have material that will peak the interest of beginners, and yes I explain to them how it is achieved.
I am curious about these concentrates you have and I recommend you send some samples to members of this forum at random, and I ask this because far to often these are some of the worst scams on earth. If they have good results then they will tell others, so please, and I will say this nicely, send out some sample bags of "Your Material" since you chose to use this site to promote it, which I do not approve of. Please do not send one to me, pick randomly but make sure I am not one. If your product is nothing more than Texas red clay maybe somebody here on this forum will have some good things to say about your company, but please understand that a majority of the people on this site take pride in their ability to find their own gold and despise people selling concentrates.
I am sorry, but your last post reminds me of the last time some Nigerian hack job was trying to get me to buy something. If you are legit and want legit business please send your product to the heads of GPAA and have them evaluate, examine, and determine if it is a worthy product, and are you allowed to advertise on this forum, much less if you are even real?
Please take no offense to my comments I just want to make sure of what your credentials and reality is since you just joined, you are advertising, and you don't even bother to fill out your profile? Your last feedback you posted is nothing but post from a Forum I have never seen before.
Granted you might be legit, I am going to ask for you to prove it?

Rhett, Seriously give it a break. You are here like trying to push your company paydirt, reminds me of a family member trying to make money off his own family. Is business that bad that you have to come here and push your product to the members? Why not just take an advertisement out in the "prospectors" magazine and let people figure it out on their own. Myself, even if your product is better than any other, I get turned off by this approach that you are taking. And believe me, I can spot and read the story line before I even read the complete book.

I checked out the website and what I seen and noticed right away....the rampant use of stock photos to create the website. I have seen enough of those in my day to know that the website itself is fake. The pictures of guys in suit's and a corporate look.....mining pictures....with heavy equipment.....Gee...do you think that we are that naïve? Show us real pictures of your mine.....cause anyone can buy flakes on the open market and salt bags of dirt. |

Mr. Lynch,
If your business is legit and your membership was not paid for by a stolen identity credit card, which GPAA will have to determine, I want you to send a sample of your material to any established member of this forum, but I recommend it is sent to one of the heads of GPAA so they can evaluate it, but I seriously doubt this organization approves of spam selling and advertising which is what also brought attention of your immediate post and membership?
I am not a officer of GPAA but I have read the bylaws as a member, so please send your sample you want to advertise to them plus your request to advertise your product, I seriously doubt it can or should be advertised.

Mr Lynch,
I went to the link below that you posted to read the reviews, that is pretty impressive. Still trying to figure out why they are all labeled "private" ? Usually Ebay allows you to click the feedback post to take you back to the sale post. |

Rhett, My feeling about you or your organization really has nothing to do with whether you might be scamming people or not, but I think foremost, and I think a lot of the other guys would agree.....that there is a right place and wrong place to be trying to make a buck off a "brother" or "sister". I see the forum as a place where we come to share ideas and help others out with issues. But not where someone comes pushing right into a conversation to sell their product. I dont see "ol Felix" coming onto the forum to sell his nor any others. I do believe their is a separate topic category for those that have things to sell. There is a line between a guy wanting to sell a piece of spare equipment and another running a commercial operation. It sure seems like you joined this club as a inexpensive way to advertise and sell your product. Since you must be great at having much success in finding so much gold in your concentrates, Why aren't you on these forums trying help the guys with some positive information about "how to do it" Show some pictures of what good "ore" or mineralized rocks will bring the most success. If you want to be respected as well as successful, you gotta first earn the respect. You say you "lost respect" for the guys here...but damn...I dont think you ever had it ... so how could you lose it?

Hey Leo, I went to his e-bay site and checked his reviews. The majority of his positive reviews were stock replies that people post when when giving reviews, like: "fast shipping good service", "good service, just like pictured", "got here quickly, fast service", "quick turnaround, nice product", "etc".
Not a lot of them gave actual reviews of the gold, and the ones who did were a mixed bag of results, from folks who say they found gold in "widely varying" amounts to folks who said "what gold" or "ran it over a miller table, nothing there".
Also,notice how his post disappeared after he kind of berated us for not believing him. don't know if he did it or the admin. Just curious is all.
And you're 100% right this is not the place for marketing. Pay to advertise ( which is usually a deductible expense ), don't use free forums that are for everyday folks to exchange info and knowledge.
Paul

I haven't finished the first of the 2, 5 lb bags I got from Whiskey Pete's off his ebay site. Have about a 1/3 cup left to work from the bottom of the firstbag, and have not worked any of the snuffer bottle to get more of the black sand out of it. So far have been pleased by what has showed up. I didn't go into it looking for ROI, it was more curiosity and to see what might be there. After I go through the second bag, I will probably get a couple of more just to have something to play with on the porch when I get bored from everything else I'm into.

Arthur,
My wife had a recent cardiac event which ended our season, she is recovering but it couldn't have happened at a better time now that the snow is settling in, but I am curious in your results because I don't have any material to play with this winter. Our last dig resulted in the worst dig I have ever seen. This old claim that we dug on that is now open property has been so cleared out that absolutely nothing exists any longer, but you go down or upstream 30 meters on either side and it is still rich, but very difficult to work.
A few things I have learned about Colorado Prospecting since we moved here;
1. If it is easy to dig, don't bother, it has already been dredged.
2. If the section of river has nothing but large stones that are almost impossible to get apart that is where you need to start.
3. Much of Colorado's rivers were heavily dredged over the last century so one must focus on finding areas that have not been touched.
The last batch was easy to dig, brought home a massive amount of dirt, and after panning through 1/4th of it we got maybe 6 grains of salt. I can honestly do better buying sand from a outlet store selling tools.
Please let me know your end results, over the holidays and the late winter it would be nice to have some inexpensive material to play with and teach the nieces, nephews, and grandkids with?

BC- will do, I didn't classify down with it the first time around, so want to go back and run through the 20,50 and 100 screens and repan (all still in the tub) and see what I missed the first time. I know I blew a couple of flakes out of the pan and want to get them. Will weigh the results and post them up. I'll see if I can get it done by Thanksgiving.

Thanks Paul....yes I noticed though most were labeled private and could even open them. I dont know...I compare his approach to something like being invited to a party, and when the beer runs out, a guy has three cases in his trunk and will sell them for 3 bucks a bottle.

Thanks, but had to give up hunting due to issues like your better half......3 in 36 hours, ejection factor of somewhere in the 15-20% range and a defib/ pacemaker implant 5 years ago. Can only do limited walking and such with plenty of rest stops. Actually surprised I have lasted this long. If I got an animal down now, would have to stay and eat all of it right there,lol. Add to that now that it is just me, I couldn't eat a deer in a year even if I could bring one home.

I've bought from Constellation Mining from Alaska. My first was off of Amazon.com but it's cheaper to go straight to them. They ship via USPS Priority Mail I've always been pleased with the gold content but never really done an ROI calculation. It's a family owned mine and they are darn nice people via email. Here's a link: http://shop.pe/J0J8e They also have a Facebook page. Rob P.S. I'm not affiliated with them in the least - just passing on a nice business |
