This post will determine once and for all whether it is faster and easier to pan for gold, or purchase it from Goldmoney.
If you think you already know the outcome of this experiment, and would like to try the new and improved onboarding, that makes it considerably easier to open a Goldmoney Holding than ever before to buy some gold, start here: https://www.goldmoney.com/w/goldmatters
Like many gold enthusiasts, I enjoy watching the show Gold Rush, on the Discovery Channel, in which amateur gold miners quickly discover just how difficult and expensive it is to get gold out of the ground.
I decided to purchase a gold panning kit branded by Gold Rush and give it a try myself to see if this process would be quicker than buying gold from Goldmoney.
This kit contains a gold pan and some other supplies necessary to do some panning, including some pay dirt from active gold mines!
The instructions in the kit recommend that you watch a video to learn the basics of gold panning put on by Parker Schnabel, one of the stars of Gold Rush.
Note the Chiweenie dog standing watch. Learn more about the Goldmoney Chiweenie here: https://steemit.com/money/@goldmatters/chiweenie-dog-joins-goldmoney-t-shirt-tour
The gold panning process requires a lot of patience, as the pan must be shaken many times and the dirt and rocks washed out. It is a methodical process that old time goldminers have been doing for a couple hundred years or so.
While I have casually panned a few times before I would by no means consider myself an expert.
Even the Chiweenie dog was getting bored of watching me washing rocks.
Little by little the lighter rocks are eliminated from the pan, and the heavier black sand and gold (hopefully) sink to the bottom.
Gold panning is a little like fishing. Patience is needed, with no guaranteed results.
Finally after some vigorous shaking......
Just kidding.
BUT
I did end up with a few flakes!!
The process took 45 minutes or so. Allowing time for some pictures :)
Lets compare to purchasing some gold using Goldmoney:
After funding my account via PayPal....
Selected order to buy $20 USD worth of gold.
Chose vault.
Reviewed order.
Placed order and received confirmation of order.
With my extra time, I sent a friend some gold (this was from my Personal account, but gold payments can be send from a Holding as well).
This process took considerably less time than panning for gold, cost less than the $25 + I paid for the kit, I experienced no hand cramping, and I ended up with more gold.
Next time I pan for gold, maybe Ill use my lucky gold hat! In the meantime, I will stick with the convenience of Goldmoney.

PS. As I was composing this blog, a friend sent me this picture, its just random enough to include.

As i say gold is the new gold.
I like that. I might use that later :)
Maybe you could also take a STEEM power ranger suit and let them experience goldmoney. https://steemit.com/steemfest/@rival/rival-introducing-steem-power-ranger-costume #GOLDMONEYISEVERYWHERE
Good idea:)
Let me know when STEEM Power ranger have to come to the rescue..
And what about this idea? I hope you can support this. https://steemit.com/steemit/@rival/introducing-world-wide-steemit-day-please-read-and-react-thx
Yes! One day I will have a beard like that
The grandfather from Parker did pan a lot pay dirt. Nice to see you bought the kit and try it yourself, including the pay dirt. I See some business in it; sell pan with paydirt for $30, and in average there is only for $2 gold in the kit. BUT; in several cases there will be more gold, maybe up to $10.000. That could make it more fun to pan.
Otherwise; just follow your instructions how to become some GOLD MONEY.
Thanks for reading about gold panning and Goldmoney! Yeah I had a lot of fun doing it really :) enjoyed the process
I agree with
That looks great!
I'm terrible at panning for gold. I've tried on numerous occasions and personally I don't think it is worth the effort. You are probably better off just buying gold with goldmoney as you said @goldmatters haha
Lol yeah im pretty bad at it too. I need more practice to be a good gold planner.... but I agree Ill just buy it from Goldmoney for reals :)
Pretty cool, i like that show too. I like when they clean out at the end and weight it up. Seems easier to order from gold money. The shot with the dog was cute too!
Thanks man! It's so satisfying watching them pour gold and count it EVERY time oz by oz. What an awesome show!
I have bought a gold bar about 2 years ago and I think that will be a good save . Welcome back to the crypto world.
Ps- THANKYOU FOR RHE HAT
Fantastic! I bet that gold bar helps you sleep at night :)
Helps me feel a little secure :) cheers 🍻
I would love to be able to go out into my back yard and pan for gold!
You can! Just order a kit :)
Haha, the unicorn came out of nowhere... lol. As for gold panning, I've tried it a few times, it really takes patience and often has very little reward I think your totally doing it the right way.
Lol totally! The unicorn kinda freaks me out honestly..... i agree, buying gold through Goldmoney = much easier:)
I am ready for the next "goldmoney was here" contest since I missed the last one (I will reveal the secret backround city in the contest-
Awesome! Great picture of the Goldmoney card!
It is nice to see that you bought the kit and try it yourself and had fun, but I think I will just stick with Goldmoney as my main supplier :) Keep up with spreading the word and I wish you all the best
That's what I like to hear!! Thank you for using Goldmoney :)
I like this set. I guess I'll buy it. Even the process itself is so fascinating!
Yes it is interesting! The more you learn about gold the more you realize how special of an element it really is...
the kit looks amazing but worth the effort and time :) great to see you back
Thank you ! It sure was a lot of fun:)

Yes agreed!
Quite awesome to see you do that with step by step pics nicely explained but if i had to make a choice to buy gold it would be goldmoney.com

Gold really matters to everyone so its better to buy from one and only Gold money :)

I would be interesting to try gold panning, it would be amazing to find a something! Thanks @goldmatters../////
Thanks for reading :)
Funny post, I liked it! Persuasive!
But I seriously think you'd get more exposure just by random sending 5 SBDs to 25k+ SP dolphins and using all the upvote bots than burning it to promotion. I'd love to see someone prove me wrong, though.., Maybe I stard doing it too!
You could very well be right :) but promotion is good for the steemit platform and steem as you say it burns steem and reduced outstanding supply. My primary objective is exposure, of course upvotes are nice as well and appreciated !
Maybe I can help, find me in chat or discord if you want.
I <3 gold too!
That is pretty cool to find gold from the sand must be a cool activity i would love to do one day i just checked out the website pretty cool stuff there too along with great informations i was like wow for a moment :) and yeah the Chiweenie dog was so adorable
Thanks for reading! And for checking out Goldmoney :)
i totally loved the comparison purchasing gold using Goldmoney is more time saving and efficient and quality is more better :D
Thank you! Awesome comment. Of course I agree:) Ill have to think of some more comparisons in the future to post about as well. If anyone has suggestions I'm open to doing a post about it. Like " ......... vs buying Goldmoney "
Put on your golden hat and call yourself PETER PANning. fly to neverland and get some gold... Or just use goldmoney... what's your choice? #GOLDMONEYISEVERYWHERE
That Golden hat & unicorn is cool ;)
Imagine a Legendary Cowboy with golden hat on Unicorn ;)
I can picture it!
I've always fancied the idea of selling up and making my way to the gold fields of Alaska to seek my fortune. But then I think maybe, screw that, it's cold and wet and the Internet reception is crappy. Guess I'll just have to set me up am account and buy some the easy way. Loving the random unicorn by the way.
LOL! This comment is hilarious
Great article, I watch on discovery about gold digging and I'm amazed!
Great experience you had my friend, actually to find gold in Golden Nature!
Enjoy @nature.art, another kind of art!
Be gold!
Be happy!
Thanks for reading about Goldmoney vs panning for gold!
I love the comparison! LOL, I have the same plastic gold pan. I did not get a cool kit with it though. 🙂
Thanks for reading Paul!!
So the Gold Rush also make this huhh i never saw that before by the way excellent experiment you did with it haha it was fun but time consuming as you said.
Thanks for reading :)
This post is to cool! I loved how you showed the whole process and you did get something out of that hard tedious work love it! I like the gold hat wear it next time! I went planning for gold in Colorado and Dahlonega Georgia all I got was fools gold! Enjoy your evening🌺
Thank you very much :) glad you enjoyed gold panning and Goldmoney!
I just thought of another reason for Goldmoney. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is launching a new reserve currency in January of 2018. It will be called SDR and some experts fear it will result in a sharp drop in value in some of the historical reserve currencies such as the Swiss franc, the British pound, and the US dollar. Resteemed to my 3,000 followers!!
Thanks Paul!
This was a very fun post to read and see 👌
Thank you so much for reading!
Thanks for reading!
i am thinking it is time to sell out of gold - it is so heavily short sold and manipulated that i doubt i will ever see a substantial profit
Daydreams, please check my research on this. FYI Expensive mines are producing at USD 700,-- / Oz. It's worthwhile to have buy orders ready at that price.
Hello I have doubts about if you pay for gold, it is send to your address in physical or is gold virtual sorry I have anything of experience with gold.

East or west goldmatters is trends!
Why thank you!
Very nice @goldmatters ...bless
sounds interesting but how does it measure up to steemit? is it better to buy gold money or steem to power up?
Thanks for the question! I would say its not an apples to oranges comparison but an apples to unicorns comparison. What I mean is the two have really nothing to do with each other. Gold is a natural element that has special properties and has ascended as money throughout civilization....... Steem is an amazing cryptocurrency that has many benefits and amazing things going for it on a wonderful platform. But gold and cryptocurrency are completely two different topics imo ....... so to address your questions directly, I would do both! :)
