Panning Out a $100,000 Bucket of Gold Paydirt!

This is the world's first $100,000 bucket of gold filled per. And what's inside will blow your mind. Oh my god. Today is going to be crazy. For those of you who don't know, pay dirt is dirt that you can buy that has a certain amount of gold inside. You can buy bags that cost $100, $500, $1,000. I've even done a $10,000 bucket. But today, we are raising that bar to the world's first $100,000 bucket of gold pers. Oh, it's in the truck, dude. What happens if you like get in an accident? Oh my god. Kyle, look at this. Oh my. Why is it in the back of your truck? You said you wanted me to bring it, right? Okay. There's $100,000 of gold in this bucket in the back of his truck. Like, if you were in an accident, uh, we'd be panning your accident. All right, so we're at Brian's house. This place is actually a mine. As you can see, there's a big mine shaft machine thingy that goes about 300 ft into the ground. We're not going to go down there today because I believe it's flooded. What I think we're going to do is walk down there to where there's a little bit of shade, and then I'm going to take this bucket here, fill it full of water, and this is where we're going to pan $100,000 of gold. I'm going to try my very best not to lose any of the gold. This is Dave. Dave's cool. Okay, so I got two bags of per that we're going to pan before we use the bucket, just for contrast. We got a 1 g gold bag, which is $125. And we got a 3 g gold bag, which is $349. So, let's pan these first before we pan the big bucket. So, Kyle's going to do the first bag of per the 1 g bag to see how much gold is inside. Wow, that's a lot of gold. I'm actually pretty excited to pan for gold. Even though this is only a 1 g bag, there's still $125 of gold in there supposedly. So, pan number one. Not a big deal, but still exciting to reveal a bit of gold. I think what we should do at the very end is pan out our tailings to see how much gold Kyle has lost. We do have black sand in there. What's that? Oh yeah, there's a piece of gold right there. Oh yeah. Okay, let's see how much gold is in the one g. Oh, we know that it's going to be about a gram. How much gold was in the one $125 bag? That's actually really nice. If you were to find that on the river, that would be a success. So there you have it. $125 premium California bag of 1 g per. So, let's step it up a notch and go for the $349 bag. [Music] First thing you do, get it all wet. I don't see anything. I think you have to keep going. So, pan number two, the three g bag. It's a little more expensive, but is it enough to put in your mouth? So, now we're starting to see a lot of black sand. All right, to the review. [Music] Oh, there we go. Some big chunks. Nice. That is awesome. Some of these you can probably pick up with the metal detector for sure. So, three times that first bag. There's definitely enough gold here to put in your mouth. Okay, before we pan out the bucket of per, I just want to give a quick shout out to Brian Thomas for putting this bucket together. If you guys want any of the gold that Paulie finds in this $100,000 bucket, go to brian thomas gold.com and check it out. It's all going to be for sale. It's time. It has taken me 3 years to try and set this up. So, it's very important we do every [Music] [Applause] So, for this bucket, we're actually going to use a classifier because I have the feeling there going to be some big pieces of gold in here. I asked Kyle to do the first pan, but he's a little too nervous for it. So, nervous. I'll do the first pan. Oh, this is going to be satisfying. I'm hoping there's going to be a big chunk of gold on the very top of it. Smells like gold. Wow. To the untrained eye, that's just sand. But if you're a professional prospector like me, this is a $100,000 bucket of gold per, it still just looks like sand. Scoop numero uno. Oh my god, look at that. There's already a piece right there. Holy. Okay, look at that. Another piece of gold right there. This is going to be good. I'll just do three little scoops. There's a lot of pressure. I can't lose any of this. Look at that round rock. That is amazing. So, as you can see, we already have some pieces of gold in here. That is a huge nugget. I feel like that's about the same size as the $10,000 bucket we did. Now, I'm not sure if I should just put this in the pan right now and just pan it out at the end. Nuggets are going in the pan. Oh, I almost threw that one away. Look at that nugget. Gold in quartz. Wow, that's actually super nice. This one just to be safe. I'm going to put all our tailings over there. That's actually surprisingly heavy right now. I'm not going to lie. Panning this much gold shakes the nerves a bit. Also, judging by the weight of this pan, I may have more gold than I think in here. So, Brian's supervising. What do you think? You know, honestly, man, even though I I made it, so I know how much gold is in here, I've never done a $100,000 per bucket before. So, I'm super excited to watch him paint it out. Me, too. I'm just waiting for that line of black sand and gold in here. I hope there's gold in here. If there's not, I'm in trouble. I think this one just keeps popping out. So, I'm pretty sure that's going to be gold. What do you think? I'm not sure. I don't know. We obviously saw that in the classifier earlier, but here it is. I'm just going to put that aside. We have another piece right there. I think that's gold. I'm not really sure. Chase, come here. Look who just showed up. So, Chase is one of the other miners up on the hill. You're not going to believe where we just found this. It's probably on the driveway. Yeah, this is just sitting in the driveway. Look. Oh my god. There is a little bit of candy in there. Is that all gone? I actually don't know. It looks like it's pyite. I think it's pyite. I'm going to throw it back. What the? So, this is only three scoops out of that bucket right there. I'm hoping there's going to be at least another gram in there. We're not really sure. But here, let me put this in the sun and clean it up a little bit. So, this is what the first pan looks like in the sun. I just I'm actually quite speechless. There is a lot of gold in here. It actually reminds me of New Zealand. It's actually That's actually really incredible. I've never found this much gold in New Zealand before, but the only times I've actually had big nuggets in my pan were after sniping in New Zealand. Whoops. I forgot about this piece of gold that I put aside. So, all that gold plus this guy. I honestly didn't even think about how we're going to recover any of the gold today. We have one snuffer bottle to try to put all the gold inside. And there's also these guys, but we're going to keep this in the pan for now. And uh we might actually just throw it over the hill over there. How heavy is that snuffer now, K? It's It's like an ounce and a half. It's awesome. All right, Kyle, you're up next. Don't lose any gold. No pressure. No pressure. Scoop number Oh. Look in the bucket. There's gold already. Look in the bucket. Oh my god. Oh, there's two. I'm not going to touch them. Okay. That is That is freaking sweet. Do three scoops. Three. Three scoops. Are you excited? Yeah, I'm excited. Are you excited? I'm excited. I'm excited. Yeah. This is Kyle's very first time panning. Oh, that's awesome. You just got to make sure none of these have like quartz on them because you never know. Yeah. And then put the tailings over there. So, while Kyle does his very first pan ever, I thought I'd just take a quick break here. What I was going to do was do a $15,000 or maybe a $20,000 bucket of per because the last one I did was $10,000. But then I thought, nah, I'm going to go straight to 100,000 and see what that looks like. So, it's really hot out here. Really hot. So, you seeing any more gold? I'm just getting flashes. Oh my god. Yeah. Gosh, it looks so good. Imagine panning on the river seeing that. I would cry. You can hear it. Yeah, you can probably feel it, too. Does it feel Oh, yeah. It's heavy. Yeah. Let's just see the reveal now. Get it over with. Is there any gold? Not yet. Jesus, what the heck? That is huge. That's probably going to be like at least 2 and 1/2 g. Maybe three. Maybe 3 g. No, seriously, that's over. What the? I didn't even notice how big that one was. Four or five grams, you think? That is pretty crazy. Jeez, I almost dropped it. Oh my god. It's actually surprisingly easy to pan when you're panning big nuggets. You don't have to really like pay too much attention to the small gold. I mean, we still will, but you know, nuggets. Oh god. Pan number two. Okay, let's take that in the sun. Okay, so this is pan number two. I'm just standing away from it to show you guys how bright that gold looks. I don't know if you can see that on camera, but it's I my eyes are closed because of how bright it is. So, just like the first pan, there's a lot of gold in here. I'm actually starting to think that we're going to find most of the gold in the first few pans rather than near the end. Out of all the gold we've seen so far, this one is probably my favorite. I think it's going to be hard to top it because of how it looks and I like it. There's this nugget that looks like it came from Australia. I have no idea. And of course, other pieces of gold that I would also eat. [Music] Feel the gold. Yeah. Hear the gold. Be the gold. Oh my gosh. So cool. This can be an earring. Will this one look good? Ow. Ow. Ow. I broke my toe. So, it's been a few minutes later and we're still just trying to pan this down. There's so much gold in here still. Like, I'd be stoked with that. Dredging or panning on a creek. Like, that's still a lot of gold. So, what I'm going to do now is I'm going to let Chase do pan. Um, no. Uno. Uno. Pan number three. Are you confident? Yeah. 3 oz. 3 oz. Yeah. 3 g. So, I think he knows how to pan. I've actually never asked them. I've only seen him swing a metal detector. But speed panning is my thing. Speed pan. Ooh. Okay. Well, I'll go slow, though. I'll go slow. All right. Pressure's on. [Music] Okay. I don't see anything yet. Oh, we have one. Okay. There's a piece of gold right there. Okay, that's good. All right, we have one piece of gold in classifier. Good sign that could be gold around. So, I guess you didn't really expect to see any gold today, didn't you? Uh-oh, we have trouble. There's Dave. You're gonna ruin the shots. I know this cool rock. I want to see it. Oh, wow. Where'd you get that? Hey, that's mine. Wow. Yeah, he cleaned it up. Okay, so I went metal detecting yesterday. I was going to make a video, but it was too stinking hot for this Canadian. And I found a really nice piece of gold, but I didn't really I couldn't really see the gold. So Dave just cleaned it up to surprise me. And look at that. I found that. Isn't that cool? That's the biggest specimen I've ever found. Turned out way better than I thought, too, by the way. You know, thanks, Dave. High five. So, I just got so distracted looking at the piece of gold I found. I was not paying attention to him. Oh, look at that. Look at that nugget. You found that with your metal detector, didn't you? Yes, sir. But you've never found a piece like that, huh? Nope. Too small. I'm ready for the roll back pen number three. Oh wow. I actually didn't expect to see that much gold in there. Wow, that's cool. That looks like a skull. You see that? That's kind of neat. That's a nice nugget. See, that looks like a New Zealand piece right there. I don't know where that one came from. That's cool. Well done. Best pan I've ever done. Oh yeah. Let's get this in the sun. So pan number three. It looks well pretty good. There's a lot more small gold in this one. Well, now okay. I don't want to say small gold. Just smaller than the first couple pans, but still a lot of gold to find in a pan. I just keep imagining what if you found this in like a single crevice. Maybe one day. I don't think I'll ever get sick of doing this. Never. Pan number four. I'll do this one. Okay. So, one big scoop there. Ah, I forgot the classifier there. One scoop, two scoops, three number four. Look at that. Is that gold? Oh, I picked up this one to see that. That is cool. And there's another one underneath. So, I'm just going to slide this one under there. Oh, that's so satisfying. What the heck? That looks like it's like Australian almost. That's super heavy. I'm going to guess this one's like maybe 2 oz. No. What? Feel it. Oh, yeah. You might be right. That's heavy. Yeah, that's that's quite heavy. Okay. In the pan it goes. And thing else in the classifier? Nope. So, just taking my time here. I want to make sure all the material is wet so that the gold can sink to the bottom of the pan. It's not a big deal if we lose gold because it's all contained, but I just don't feel like panning more after this. That is such a nice piece. I don't know if you found this in the river if it would sink to the bottom or not just because it's full of quartz. It might actually just tumble along and you might not actually see it. Actually, I'm going to put that right there for now. And there's that piece we saw. Is that the same piece? I think that is the same piece. Still, imagine just panning and like that coming out. Wow. I'm going to say, yeah, that's got to be 2 oz. All right. Pan number four. It does not get old. Look at that. Oh, yeah. You're still there. Those guys were in the kitchen. Gosh, I love these little asteroid pieces. They look like little asteroids. They're perfect for jewelry, especially for this one. You could wear that around your neck or nipple. Pan number uno uno uno uno, which is four. It's Well, I mean, what can I say? It's looking like the rest. A lot of gold here. I'm not sure what I'd do if I found this in person, like out on the river. Probably freak out and not tell anybody. I think this nugget here is probably going to be one of my favorites. But I also do like the little asteroid pieces. And well, I I like all the gold. We also have a pine cone, a random rock, and a sandal. So, while Brian organizes the gold for me, I'm going to hurry up and let Kyle do pan number five. Right there, there's gold. Yay. You see that right there? All right. Dump that in the regular pan. You want to check that? Oh, that one right there. Look. Oh jeez. Almost didn't even see that one. I'm starting to think that every pen we do now is starting to get less and less gold filled. But I I'm not complaining at all. Pressure is on. Just going to quickly have a look. Oh. Oh boy. You see that? No. Oh, there we go. Nice. Yeah. Yeah, this pan was actually pretty quick. How much did you just do? Like one scoop. How many scoops did you do? That was three. Oh. Oh, that's a piece of gold right there. Nice. Should we pan this back? Yeah, pat it back. Moment of truth. Pan number five. [Music] Still incredible nuggets. Oh my god. It's like they don't end. How much gold did you put in here? Couple grams. I feel like my reactions are getting boring now. Look at that. Just screamed in your ear. That is amazing. Still, I want to I just want to eat it. Nom nom nom nom nom. There's so much gold in here. I'm starting to get bored of gold. I'm actually starting to run out of things to say. I'm consistently getting blown away by how much gold is in this bucket. I mean, clearly it's $100,000. But uh yeah, the gold's starting to look the same. I'm starting to forget what no gold looks like. These are the chunky bits that came out of pan number five. Out of all these nuggets here, I'm obviously going to say the biggest nugget is my favorite. But I also do like this really small piece. that you might not be able to see on camera. It just speaks to me. So, I want to keep panning myself, but I'm actually kind of enjoying filming. So, we're going to get Chase to do the next one. Pan number seven. Six. Six. Six. Six. Pan number six. I love this part. [Applause] Yay. That is funny. Jeez, that's so wild. It like looks small in the camera. You almost can't get context there. There. Oh, perfect. I got to say this is probably my favorite one. Yeah, same. Although I like this one. Yeah, that's a mysterious one because it's so heavy for how it looks. Yeah. See, now that I'm not seeing big nuggets stick around, I feel like we're going to find a lot of fine gold in here, especially near the bottom of the bucket. Wow. Is there gold? Yep. There's your rock. There's my rock. I've been looking everywhere for it. Oh my god. Lot of gold. Yep. Lots and lots of candy still. You know, it would actually be weird if we did a pan and there was no gold in it. So, I'm acting like, "Oh my god, there's gold in here." It's like, we know there's going to be gold in here. So, shut up, Paul. This is just messing with my head now. I don't think we're really supposed to find this much gold in real life. This is going to spoil us pretty much for the rest of our lives. You're absolutely right. So now when I go mining and I try really hard for days and days to look for gold, I'm just going to be disappointed when I find like an ounce. Yeah, if you don't find $100,000 worth of gold, was it even worth it? No, I think I'm just going to quit and look for silver. No, I can't. Vampire joke. All right, just as predicted, there's a lot more smaller gold in here. There's going to be a lot more underneath that black sand, too. I just find it pretty difficult to clean up. So, I did the best I could with the amount of patience that I have right now. Taking a look at some of these nuggets here. I'm going to say that in this pan, this is my favorite one because there's a lot of quartz on it as you can see. And obviously some gold. This is a nice specimen. I just wish it was 30 million times bigger. All right. So, what I'm thinking for pan number seven is I'm just going to pan it out. There's not a lot more material left, but I'm just going to dump all that into one pan to hopefully find one piece of gold. Pan number seven. The final bits of dirt after several years in the making all come down to this final pan. Was it worth it or am I going to be broke for a long time? We have one right off the top there. There's a rock. There's a rock right there. This piece. Hello. It's time to get serious. Depending on what's in this pan could be the difference between walking home and walking home with shoes. We have something showing up right there in our last pan. Yes. Okay. Wow. That's a lot more than I thought. Oh my god. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness gracious. Look at that piece of gold. I was hoping that was a rock. So there we have it. $100,000 of gold pay dirt panned out in seven pans. Now, I am pretty sure there's going to be a little gold in here. We're probably going to get Brian to pan it out afterwards just to see if we missed anything, which I'm going to blame on Kyle. Yeah. So, let's put this in the sun and then let's put all the gold together and uh just throw it off the cliff somewhere where we never find it again. Finally, the last pan is done. We have a ton of small gold in here, even some nuggets. So, that does tell us that there is nuggets around still. My favorite piece is going to be this big guy just because it's bigger than the small ones. What I like about a lot of gold, too, is you can just make a little pile. It always feels nice to the touch. All right, just for fun, let's see what this looks like in one pan. Oh my goodness. Oh my god. Wow. That is just [Music] ridiculous. [Music] [Applause] [Music] So, the only thing left to do now is cook all the gold on a stove and make sure everything's dry so we can accurately weigh everything. So, one g bag. We have one g of gold. Not bad. Still good. Three g bag. 3 g of gold. Still beautiful. $100,000 bag or bucket of pay dirt. [Music] So, $100,000 bucket of perert. It still surprises me how expensive gold is for the size. If you ever hold a gold nugget, you'll see how heavy it is. And that just goes to show how dense the valuable metal is. And I think Kyle's right. This is going to mess us up in the future. I don't think we're ever going to find this much gold on the river, so I might as well just take it in and drool. So, out of all these pieces, leave a comment down below. Which piece is your favorite? Now, I'm just going to drool over these for a little longer. And then we're actually going to put this on the scale and see how much gold is here. I'm nervous. I'm quite nervous. What if it only weighs a gram? Buying gold first. What's your guess, uh, Kyle? I think it's 6 or 7 oz. 4 oz. Jeez. 143.6 g of gold just in the fine gold. Now for the medium. It's hard to say that's mediumiz nuggets. Those are huge. And it sounds so Let's see. We're 143.6. 143 16. Holy half. It's just that one piece. Gosh. 10 g. Slow down, Brian. Jesus. No, that's good. Wow. [Music] 53 g. How many ounces is that? I can't even think right now. That's probably at least 10 bucks. 514. And now the big nuggets. Here we go. Can't believe we're just doing this in your kitchen. I think that one's probably my favorite nugget right there. See if you guys can calculate this while we're doing this. I won't do the math now. I'll do it later. I think it's about $11 now. Is this the last one? It's the last one. Oh boy. Okay. Okay, I'm going to guess it's going to break 900 g cuz that's definitely over 12 g of gold. Here we go, baby. Final piece. 9. Holy. That's actually way more than I thought. So, yeah, that piece is not only heavy, but that is almost 1,000 g of gold. That is incredible. So, after doing the calculations online, with today's spot price of gold, the price came out to $105,355. That is actually insane.
