In the United States, rising gold prices have led to a hype frenzy for gold mining. Heavy rainfall, melting snow and soil erosion in California or South Dakota are opening up (or supposedly opening up) new gold-bearing areas. At the same time, gold prices are breaking records, and inflation continues to devalue money.
And in this situation, many Americans decide not to buy gold on the exchange, but to mine it. like 200 years ago. Amazon and Walmart are actively selling buckets, shovels, sieves, or even turnkey DIY gold digger kits. The demand for these products is growing steadily. At the same time, a new trend has emerged: some companies sell pay-dirt (“paid gravel”). These are ready-made sets with gold-containing earth. Roughly speaking, this is a bag of gravel from the area of some promising mine, in which you can find some gold.
Such bags of 6-7 kg sell from 100 to 1000 bucks. Some sellers guarantee 0.5-1 grams of gold inside. But not in one piece, but in total, in the form of fine dust. However, they also throw in: “You might get lucky and find a lot more, in case we forget to sift through the nuggets or something...” It turns out to be a "lottery" new format.
