HOW TO SET UP YOUR OWN PANNING PARTY
- Find a nonprofit that would be interested in having you raise money on their behalf with, specifically, a panning party.
- The minimum number of participants is one. Two people at $200 apiece, four people at $100 each, twenty people at $40 each, 200 people at $2 each for one Fat Pack, unless they buy additional paydirt Fat Packs, which you’d better have on hand. Most folks will pan three times before they give up in disgust — it’s then your job to show them how to succeed, and GIVE them a packet or two to try again. Don’t worry, you’ll find plenty of dumped gold flakes at the end of the day.
- Be prepared to spend $200 on the 200+ Fat Pack Paydirt, and if you expect more, you’ll need more mine runs of paydirt — it’s best not to be caught short on paydirt.
- You can charge anywhere from $2 a Fat Pack to $25 a Fat Pack for a chance to hit the nuggets — the charity for which you’re working will tell you what they would like. Myself, I’d charge two bucks and let everyone have a good time and relax with it.
- You can have a more expensive Fat Pack that yields bigger nuggets for the high rollers.
- You may wish to cater the event with finger-food, but be aware that panning is messy and needs cleanup before finger food or after.
- Use the PROSPERITY PATH PANNING PARTY PACKET to prepare your presentation, and mind your “p”s and “q”s.
- The presentation contains all you need to get started.
- You can show the DVD video or perform the demo yourself.
- Your first challenge will be to save BBs using the “ BB Panning Trainer Dirt Kit.
- The second challenge will be paydirt, paydirt, paydirt, with REAL GOLD in it, that you could easily lose over the side if you don’t pan precisely and correctly.
- You will need spill pans or troughs to catch the droppings, called “tailings”, which you’ll want to pan later on, so don’t dump it out onto the sidewalk.
- Your panning party will be a success, because even if NO ONE HITS, and with untouched paydirt, it IS possible, because you can have a panning contest with BBs or a draw by number or by ticket, or some of several other ways to find a “winner”.
- Your “winner” gets a PRIZE that I include, to give away to the winning panner, whether anyone finds gold nuggets or not.
You don’t have to do any explaining. It’s all handled in the introduction packet. When you’ve read it aloud at several panning parties, you’ll remember the main points and be able to deliver the intro without the short prompting sheet.
Panning Parties are great additions to already existing party plans. Birthday celebrations for ANY age — just about any party can benefit from a panning party, even black tie events such as a wedding or a funeral.
Sure, funeral. Couldn’t possibly hurt.
What’s really fun about the “Nuggets or Nothing” is a combination of the possibility of finding a BIG nugget, up to about pea-size, and the very real possibility that there will be NOTHING in the pan!
It’s an “all or nothing” kind of odds, and I like the fact that mostly you can lose, yet the lure of the BIG HIT tempts you to go on and on, ‘way past where you’d normally go if not for the insanity of the Pursuit of Gold.
That’s what can keep you going when all else fails. Don’t neglect the Lure of Gold and the Lust for Gold as driving mechanisms for your will-power and your ability to keep panning for life.
Gosh, there’s so much to say about this incredible practice, but I’ll let the practice itself speak for itself. In short, try it, you’ll like it.
Prospecting for the Glory Hole is only part of the process of getting the gold. The most important part is when you get the paydirt back to the panning table and find out what you’ve got in the pan!!!
See You At The Top!!!
