Our Story

Our journey into this space stems from our shared passion for camping, exploration, and the thrill of fossicking for gold! Driven by the desire to share this exhilarating experience with others, we embarked on creating our own line of top-quality paydirt.

Sourced from the rich gold fields of Central Queensland and occasionally from other abundant locations across Australia, our paydirt is meticulously concentrated to ensure our customers receive only the finest quality. Each bag comes with a guaranteed minimum amount of gold, promising excitement with every pan.

At Dirtbag Gold, we cater to everyone, from beginners to seasoned enthusiasts, including kids! We even offer starter packs for those new to the hobby, ensuring everyone can join in on the fun.
