The Alaska Gold Forums

Still hoping for some follow up stories to help learn more about that area. My small efforts have all centered from Hope up to the south side of Denali with a little time north of Fairbanks as well as some time on the beach west of Nome and a couple of trips to the beaches of Oregon. Then again ther...

Research of all sorts into what has happened within a given area's history is something we all should do our best to seek. Prior ownerships of claims (or the absolute lack of interest) as well as topo info for access are things that do help to give a better idea as to potentials for an area of inter...

Steve sure had a good run with that forum. He had "Pick 'a da Litter" for quite a while, years ago, back when he sold all the new detectors at the store there in Los Anchorage. He certainly learned and shared his 'stuff' with many of us here on the forum. One year he reaped a whirlwind down at Crow ...

It makes you wonder if Pedro ever saved that very first nugget he found in Alaska - near Fairbanks?
GREAT find there, Dick --- go look for another one like this "Toothpaste" one over the coming season!

Did you get much gold in all that "high grade" from the tracks? One year "The Queen of Our Realm" brought her boots back from one of those adventure filled summers and decided, in the middle of the winter, to pan out the "stuff" sticking to them. Yeah - she pulled them from the plastic bags they wer...

JEEZ Dick --- do your hands even fit a "True Temper #2" any more???

What a great piece of equipment!

Copied all that, I did. On a 'regular day' I used to shovel about 1.5 +- yards through my sluice or highbanker a day, and once in a while, when I could use the Keene 4", well, the sky was the limit. I sure do hope that I can get back into it again - time will sort it all out, I guess. As time allows...

GO FOR IT !!! It's great that things are working out well for you. Here in Northern Idaho I'm still working on getting a very (!) Slow healing Diabetic foot wound to heal. 18 months so far and every time it starts looking like there's a light at the end of the tunnel it turns to ne another train com...

It happens in stages. First, poke around until something gets your attention. When that happens figure out just what you stumbled upon. Is it just a random fizzle or something more solid. Then, it completely falls on your shoulders as to "Is it enough, or not?" ""Enough"" in weight, size or richness...

Fleng - My contact info just sent - somehow it never made it in my earlier long and windy PM to you.
