As a combat veteran with PTSD, gold panning and the act of searching for it saved my life. Just watching panning helps! Keep on keeping on with the great videos Brother!

I have a question for you War veteran with ptsd. Do you still love war and army as much as you loved before getting ptsd? Because in my mind, yeah i get that you serve the country and do this for good, but i know some peole swear war is ''the shit'', but on my side, i do dislike everything relating to hate/crime/war/bad. What's your opinion on it?

You are absolutely correct I use this and coin collecting to keep my PTSD and high anxiety levels under control and it helps immensely no medicines. Worked engine rooms of naval ships for over 20 years civilian engine rooms for over 15 years gave me bad anxiety levels

I've bought 3 bags of his paydirt, beginner, mid, and expert, ALL OF WHICH had more gold than advertised! Not to mention, he tosses added bonuses too! Crystals, wheat back pennies, and his patented guitar picks. He delivers what he says, and I encourage you to give him a try if your skeptical. WARNING!!! The expert bag has ALOT of flour gold and is HARD to separate. But def fun and worth it!

I know how difficult it KAN be to pan out extremely heavy concentrates!!!! You nailed it!👍🏻✅

I'm only watching your videos as a relaxing experience, and I almost exclusively watch the paydirt reviews for that exact same reason. This is similar to ASMR, it's hard to tell why it is so enjoyable, but it is.

Today is a good one already, got the day off and a klesh vid with my coffee!!!! Hells yeah!!

So glad I found your videos. Since I got into panning back in March I’m already around 2 grams from Paydirt’s that you’ve reviewed. Thanks for all your pro tips really helped me get started!

I’ve done 6 of your bags so far. 4 beginner bags with my young daughter and 2 Gold Strike bags for myself. You’re 💯% right, panning them is definitely a great escape from whatever is going on in our lives. Thank you for putting out a great and honest product. I definitely plan to order more bags!

Love watching these videos! My new favorite type of video to watch in quarantine

Restoration videos of old tools or worn down tools and gold panning videos are my go to for de-stressing and chilling out really. Watching yourself and some of Dan Hurd Prospecting helps me to relax and I find it rather enjoyable as well. Keep up the good work bud!

Impossible paydirt took me 6 hours straight in panning. My roomates are also watching me patiently while doing it and now they understand why I always ordered paydirt instead of buying gold in jewelry store.. Thank you Shane for sharing this idea.

I am a precious metals refiner in Denver, and I totally agree that heading something to focus on, especially when it involves such expensive metals is like a form of meditation. It definitely keeps my anxiety and general stress down. Love the vid, Shane! Keep it up man.

I have debilitating anxiety. Like i can't even work or ANYTHING right now. I literally enjoy nothing but prospecting related activities. Paydirt is SO much fun. The weekly subscription keeps me excited for the future😊

Just got the gold strike bag the other day. Ive been through it three times and keep finding gold. Two pieces looked half covered in mercury, really cool looking. The flour gold is beyond me at the moment, but im keeping everything. All in all im really pleased with it. Been loads of fun. I would definitely recommend doing this.

Just watching you pan and your narrative is therapeutic for me. Thanks for the videos!!

Been watching your videos and wanted to thank you for taking the time to make these. As a beginner and hopefully working towards pan I h and maybe sluicing some of the creeks in my area. Your videos have given me an idea of what gold panning is. Biggest challenge now is determining what type of sluice to purchase or make. So many different brands and matting / riffle types. We have glacier deposits in this area and always wanted to be able to find a little. Your videos are always a relief to the everyday grind. You have my gratitude and thanks. Take Care and Stay Safe..!

Its cool that you honestly show what your paydirt bags have.

In this vid you talk about it helping your anxiety, I watch your videos to help me relax after a long day at work, so relaxing, only found you about a month ago, so glad I did! Thank you for making these videos!

Hey Zoe glad to hear that - more videos to come and thanks so much for subscribing!

Another awesome video brother!!! Gold panning is for sure my get away! And gold panning while watching your video's is even better for the anxiety. Have had two heart attacks and always need the calming effect. Thank you!!!!

I haven't done anything close to gold panning. I do enjoy your videos. In lockdown through March to July. I spent time sorting our front and back garden. Put a few podcasts on and got on with it.

I was so thinking about buying one of your bags then sending it to you to pan out, that's werid that I was thinking that then you post a bag of your own, love it!!!

You are so right. Only one thing is better than finding your own gold, and that is watching your paydirt videos. "NICE"

I have had anxiety and depression for the best part of 20 years. I started panning about 5 years ago along with photography and it has helped me immensely.

Just ordered a couple bags of your dirt. My first Colorado dirt! Thanks for all the great reviews

You are correct on panning helping with anxiety and depression. It’s my happy place for sure . I also carve Diamond Willow walking sticks and that helps a lot also . Keep the great videos coming Shane . Love your adventures.

I spin yarn...it's basically meditation, just like panning can be. Panning out in the sun is a help, too -- ups your Vit D and all that other good stuff. :) Doing fiber stuff though....that's awesome for in or outdoor, can do it anywhere, not something you can do with gold panning. :)

Hey Boss Just finished The paydirt I picked up from you. I have to give you credit, I have enjoyed the anticipation and panning it out more than anything in a long time! The value is terrific, never get tired of seeing the golden smile looking back at me from the pan. The crystals ,coin and the guitar pick are an excellent touch. .7 grams and 4 pickers was awesome ,definitely a bonus bag Thanks Happy to do business with you, Hope to meet you on the Goldfields some time! P.S. flower gold is tough. Watch out for Jason and Rigby

Hello Shane :) It's just too cool to see your name on gold paydirt bags! Congrats on that. After all these years I still haven't got myself a gold pan but plan to. I've learned a lot about panning but lack the personal experience. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you! Much Love and respect.

Thanks so much for making your videos! Watching you collect gold has helped with my anxiety immensely! I'm actually hoping to get panning equipment and some paydirt from you for Christmas from my fiancée!

I'm with you....I find the fun of panning and the hint keeps my anxiety at bay.

Just recently subscribed after I saw your video and I can’t resist to keep on watching of it. I had ordered and panned Gold Strike & Impossible Pay. More videos to come

This has helped my anxiety a lot. We don't really have any here where i live (that i know of) so I order in some pay dirt every now and then to do. Happy I found this hobby.

I bought a bag had what he said it would and it had few extras my 8 year old enjoyed finding

nice AU fam. some cool panning . GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!!

Very informative doct. To word.huge people know about it good very good nice

It does help with anxiety for sure. Got laid off last October not covid related just corporate greed. Always interested in prospecting never had time. Been watching your channel and Dan and Pauly too. Got me through a tough time. Thanks for the video and for your service. :)

I got really into fly fishing and fly tying as a way to help control anxiety. Prospecting is great too!

Yes prospecting for gold and panning is a massive help.

Good looking paydirt Shane,and great job on the video.Thank you again in sharing your experience and knowledge. David out

Awesome man, hope to do our bag of Expert next month. Super cool to get a preview. ❤⛏

great tutorial, i`ve been panning for about a decade and it`s always interesting to find tweaks to my technique. thanks, man. btw, just ordered and anxiously awaiting a bag of gold strike paydirt...gonna give the pick to my son, he plays and we prospect here in Maine

I just found you via a random search, hi from Australia and time to start binge watching!

Yes, another great informative video, nice

I find wire wrapping gems and stones then making jewelry out of them is quiet relaxing and fun.

Trippy man, when I started panning I noticed it helped so much with anxiety.

I will say this, even just watching you panning for gold is relaxing enough for me. Tomorrow when I receive your paydirt will be a first time panning

I'm actually just getting into panning. I just got your full experience in the mail yesterday! I'm making videos of my journey into prospecting and one of the main reasons is because it's therapy for me. Dealing with ptsd and it's many associated side affects and this helps bring me back to my center. Thanks for the awesome videos

Glad to help, and yes it's a great stress relief for me as well!

Thanks for the video!

I don't live in an area with much gold (Indy area), so panning isn't an option unless I want to spend a fortune buying pay dirt. I sharpen knives to help relieve anxiety. I got a "fixed angle" system that is easier than plain stones and it really lets me drift away while I use it. Then, I have a razor sharp knife on the other side of it too. Win-win. I'm working on some sharpening content to kick off my channel soon, hopefully. Stay well, Shane.

Yeah. I got anxiety myself, and panning has been an amazing change for me. Getting outside and panning while hearing that water flow

Great videos I just discovered you the other day and I've watched quite a few now I do metal detecting as a hobby and now might look into doing this

Yup looks like clear creek material hahaha. Going back on Saturday to work some ground we found last weekend, its got the best gold I have come across so far. You gotta join us sometime Shane!

Shane I always enjoy watching your GPAH videos.

I do ASMR on you tube for anxiety and relaxation and many people benefit from my videos, but it’s with chalk crushing and powder play. Everyone has their own escape. Glad you found yours x

I love to think that this bag is just gunna be dried back up and repackaged hahaha

Interesting you brought up the anxiety thing. I'm also a veteran but in the 1970's I went panning up Clear Creek to get away from the mother in law from hell. So relaxing! I wanna add that back then I never heard of things like flower gold, it was either gold dust or nuggets. We never worried about black sand, we just panned and panned it away.

I keep my anxiety down by watching your videos Shane! Thank you! 😊

Coin roll hunting is my escape. Gold panning is good too, I just have the access to the material as easy as pennies. Keep it up.

Brother said it.. panning to help tranquility of myself ...work construction 5 days week..late fri/sat nights my panning (feel good) just chilling out

Been a subscriber for a while. Just watching your videos helps my anxiety. Ill be buying a bag of this expert and try my hand at what ive learned watching you and other prospectors. Might even try my hand at making a video haha. We'll see.

got my intermediate bag about 2 weeks ago. Going to make a video just working on film crew and wardrobe ~rad~

I did my first panning on my channel and wanted to get better so I have been doing home Depot sand for practice after work and find I have been sleeping better even though I have not found gold in it yet 😊

I started about a year ago prospecting the Molalla river just SE of Molalla Oregon. I started so I had something to do while rehabilitating from 3 botched back surgery's, 2ND surgery went in walking came out paralyzed. For nearly a week I had no response by front any region of my lower self. Just after that I lost my mom to liver cancer. She was my best friend. Today, I still suffer physical limitations and very emotional about losing my mom literally months before covid-19, but panning has helped me stay somewhat sane through it all. If you are interested in prospecting the Molalla river please let me know I'd love to show you around my back yard. I grew up in this small one horse town ad I pretty much know these cascade hills like the back of my hand.

Hey Klesh always enjoy content. I watch from my tv and can't comment unless I go to my phone. Brother everyday is a battle for me but love to know more tools to use for anxiety. I hate the whole pill thing but would love to pick up more coping tools. Again man thanks for all your content wish myself I could do some panning.

what helps the most for me is drawing. even tho im not extreamly good at it, it has someting calming about it

I think you put it very well, find something that concentrates the mind and uses all the senses so there is no room for bad thoughts to come in. I find motorcycles work for me. Your Colorado mountains look really beautiful territory as a backdrop too

I really enjoy your videos. I have anxiety too, caused me some problems in school, but gold panning helps me calm down too considering there's gold in my pan lol. It's tuff where I am in south carolina.. I'd like to see you pan some of the river sands around here. Would help me know if I'm doing it right.

Yes mindful exercises like panning gold are good for anxiety...except when you get the bug in December in Northern British Columbia. Another valid reason for buying pay dirt online maybe??? I also supplement for dopamine with L-tyrosine and Ashwaganda root extract aka the cortisol killer.

I like having a lot of cons to work through. MORE CONS!!! I don’t like panning sand. I grabbed a bag, waiting on a gem bag. This is for my daughter to see dirt from different states.

I like your content, it's a nice mellow ASMR counter balance to life. A very nice alternative to the political atmosphere. Thanks Klesh channel!

You are very right I started trying to pan and watch alot of your videos and alot of dan huard as well and it is an amazing way to relax and it is all you want to focus on thank you and keep it up we do have lots of rivers but never found any thing lol not even a micro dot of the good stuff but I still love and enjoy every minute of it and my son is getting in to it as well we do panning ,metal detecting and magnet fishing I love all that but would love to find some gold colors some day just want to feel the rush of egernalin when you see the gold one day I hope but till that day I will keep doing what I love thank you Shane and keep up the good and positive things you do for not only yourself but for people like myself thanks again have a great one and please stay safe with this pandemic you can't be to careful

Thank you

I don't usually pan out gold I luv to use a water table and between the sound of the water and finding the gold on table can be very relaxing for me

Best Bang for your Buck right here ladies and gentlemen have great day Klesh

@13:56 "look at how small that gold is" was that a devilish laugh after that?? I definitely won't be buying any expert pay bags from you LOL

SOME TOUGH STUFF THERE. GREAT VIDEO AND FANTASTIC PAYDIRT.

Nice video..... anxiety helpers..... fishing, hunting, riding motorcycle solo...... all keep your focus aligned

Thanks for the video! I'm learning about gold panning and mining here in Southern California, and i've been watching your videos for awhile now. I like your matter-of-fact analysis of pay dirts. To pay it forward, I will be purchasing from you in the future (going to start with the beginner package!!

A really nice indica with a good terp profile does wonders for me.

Shane, while using that magnet and silver dollar tube, maybe try using a rubber ban, hair tie or a tight stretched O ring on the outside of the tube to better detach the magnetics when you pull the magnet out of the tube. Maybe patent it then? Lol greets from Pennsylvania!

Found your channel recently, watched a few, but didn't know you were from CO; I'm born and raised there but now in NM. I did my first bag the other day, it's sure harder than it looks, needs more practice.

Na not in you to pull a fast one honestly is very strong in you which is awesome another awesome video thank you

Ive gone to old mining sites along some rivers and used metal dector and found some large chunks of gold that was missed because their dredge machine was set at a certain size so some of the bigger stuff was spewed out

Just bought a beginners bag. I'm not so much of a beginner but I'm not a pro. Wish I could afford to support you more then just the beginners bag.

Me and my son with autism travel the country looking for adventures. This summer we was in Colorado climbing elbert and great sanddunes. We tried panning but didn't find a single piece. This summer coming up we are driving to zion grand canyon and climbing whitney in ca. You should show us a spot to pan a few hours and actually find something. Im from ohio so it is all new to me!
