Every gram in this bag is mapped to a named, dated certificate.
We publish the lab number, the batch photo, and the operator's name before a single bag ships. Read the report end-to-end, or jump to the state your bag came from and download the per-lot PDF.
How a $200 bag of dirt earns its way to your door
Four steps, each one written down.
Every bag passes through the same chain. Each step generates a record the buyer can read — and the next build of this page pulls from the same single source of facts the catalog uses.
- Step 01
Sourced
Pulled at a named U.S. claim by its operator — never from a generic repackaging house.
- Step 02
Lab-confirmed
A third-party assay reports the actual gold weight in milligrams for each production batch.
- Step 03
Posted
Certificate and unboxing photo are published with the batch number before the bag ships.
- Step 04
Sealed
Tamper-evident seal and the lot ID travel with the bag so the buyer can re-verify on receipt.
Sample lab-certificate layout
This is what lands in the box with your bag.

What the photos verify, state by state.
Each photo below is from a real production batch — the photo is posted with the certificate before the bag ships, so the gold in the photo is the gold in the box. The caption names what the photograph substantiates.

FTC-safe disclosure, per claim
The actual gold content, stated lot by lot, lab by lab.
Every disclosure below names the lot ID, the certified gold weight in grams, the assay lab, and the batch number. We separate gold content from mineral content in every listing and on every certificate — this page is the long form of that disclosure.
