The Alaska Gold Forums

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.

I would like to think that this ruling will make a difference, at least for the Sackett's it will. As to the rest of us I am not sure. You can count on the fact that the real rulers of the country, the bureaucrats, are already plotting how to circumvent the highest court in the land. I did read the ...

Dick Beautiful !!! Please tell me Geo is wrong? It didn't take two full months to find that little bit of gold did it? Especially if you are using a new Paleo Pick, using and old one maybe but new, no way. I believe this gold mining is like learning poker, you have to pay your tuition. I am planning...

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...

153 Lbs.

If that's all it is I may need to rethink this whole thing!

Wave Appreciate the help. If I can fill a gallon jug with gold I am sure I can find someone to help me carry it!! In the South we bass fish, a lot. No one asks if you made money bass fishing over the weekend. I am treating my gold mining like my bass fishing, I want to get the most and the biggest b...

Appreciate all the information. Now, not to be critical but some of you fellas are losing a few miles off the old fast ball! I was waiting for someone, anyone, to point out that a gallon of gold would weigh about 160 pounds!! Not a peep!!! I was waiting for some ribbing for the guy from the only Sta...
