The Alaska Gold Forums

Ok I went and checked out the information provided, appreciate the help! New question and map? What are the little yellow dots on certain parts of the river on this map? Its an old map but I cant get it to square with any of the topo map symbols that I have found.

Thanks

This is the top of the map where I found this online. USGS 69-236. It appears to be overlaid on a topo map. It makes some notes about mining activity and refers to a "discontinuous placer"

Thanks for the help

Good evening,

Is anyone familiar with the meaning of the marks on this old topo map? Lots of handwritten marks and no legend.

Thanks,

How do you do it? First summer dredging, not a lot of plugs but enough. How do you remove them? Had to unhook the hose and drag it out to dry land one time to clear it. No fun with an 8" dredge hose!! I have a few ideas myself but my experience is extremely limited.

Fire away!!

Thanks,

Crazy busy! I am familiar with fine gold. This summer I found ONE piece of gold that was +16 in size. 90% of what we found was -30 or smaller. I will write more when able.

Dick Beautiful !!! Please tell me Geo is wrong? It didn't take two full months to find that little bit of gold did it?

Dick, All good! All of my paperwork is complete, everyone has signed off, all "t's" crossed and "i's" dotted. Lot of junk but very nice people to work with. Heading out for a cross country pilgramidge to Tacoma at the end of the month to put all my stuff on the barge to Nome. I have everything in ha...

Flint What type of tailings are you running? Before any smart asses weigh in I know they are tailings from previous mining activities. I have tons of tailings left over from bucket line dredging from the early to mid 1900's on a river in a the middle of nowhere. If I am able to process previous tail...
