What about those gold prices
April 2025 has kicked off with gold prices hitting $5,053 AUD per troy ounce (or $162.46 AUD per gram), marking a 0.88% jump from yesterday’s close at $5,009.
We’ve seen prices fluctuating between $4,962 and $4,972 throughout the day, showing just how volatile the market can be.
For Aussie prospectors and paydirt buyers, this is an interesting time—higher gold prices mean the gold in your pan is worth more, but it also raises the question of affordability when it comes to buying paydirt. Personally, I see a lot of people more eager than ever to secure real gold, whether for fun, learning, or even as a hedge against inflation. What do you reckon—good news or bad for gold prospectors?

Are Rising Gold Prices Good or Bad for Paydirt?
Hi, it’s Andrew Frost here from Oh That’s Gold on YouTube! One of our Patreon members recently asked an interesting question—does the rising price of gold help or hurt paydirt sales?
It’s a great topic to dive into because gold prices have been climbing, and that naturally impacts both prospectors and buyers of paydirt. Let’s break it down!
What Does Rising Gold Mean for Paydirt?
Gold paydirt is unique because it’s not just about the gold you recover—it’s about the experience of panning, the thrill of discovery, and the connection to prospecting history. But as gold prices go up, does that make paydirt a better deal or more expensive fun?
Here’s how I see it:
The Challenges:
🔸 As gold prices rise, the cost of sourcing and processing paydirt can increase. 🔸 There’s only so much someone will pay for a bag of paydirt before it stops making sense as an entertainment purchase. 🔸 If prices get too high, some people may hesitate to buy, preferring to spend their money on actual gold bars or coins instead.
The Benefits:
✅ Gold is a real asset, and when you buy paydirt, you’re not just getting an experience—you’re securing gold that could be worth more in the future.
✅ Many people see paydirt as an investment in their skills and knowledge, especially those new to prospecting.
✅ Panning for gold is a fantastic way to unwind, relieve stress, and experience the rush of a real gold hunt from home.

Final Thoughts
So, are rising gold prices good or bad for paydirt? Right now, in my experience, people are actually buying more paydirt—maybe because they see gold as a smart investment, or maybe because they just love the thrill of panning! That said, I remain open to this changing in the future.
What do you think? Do higher gold prices make paydirt more appealing, or does it make it harder to justify the cost? Let me know in the comments!
Happy panning & happy days!
