The Alaska Gold Forums

Well now Eric, that was a real spellbinding first post! Welcome aboard here on the AK Au 4 M Merry-Go-Round. You can bet that I'll be anxiously waiting to hear more tales from your spot there on the Kink. So what size dredge, what kinds of river material and, most importantly, what sizes of Gold wer...

Wan'-a-guess from me? :shock: Parallel solid blue lines .... possibly current, or at least current back then, streambed. Dotted in gold color .... inside bends with possible / probable or confirmed placer Gold concentrations. Blue dashes .... edges or probable limits of the placer concentrations. Ho...

'Tis all speculation until it actually happens. Interesting, but then I guess it's just wait and see time at this point.

Well, easy goer, I heard from my buddy - and now I have seen a WHOLE lot of geological "stuff" that he sent me. My brain is in overload - however ..... I suspect that what you have is a geological "map" overlaid on a USGS topo map with someone's observational (or research) notes penciled in. The act...

Rather than a Topo Map, it seems to be a geological (sub-surface rock type) chart which might (I can't actually see if contour / elevation lines are shown) be projected onto an actual, for real, Topo Map. That's the best that I can make out - working at the ragged and faltering extent of my experien...

A story as Told to Me in My Tent 7 miles West of Nome by Robin, and later his brother, Mark Gumaer. June of ’05 found me mining on the beaches West of Nome. For miles on each side of Nome the beaches had been declared open to mining for the general public, which allowed anyone the opportunity to wor...

Yeah guys - I just have an older model of a True Temper #2 hand held. Really does well on fuel but it also really wears you out!

Hmmm Slatco, There is something that helps to get more bank run through a box -- and it's pretty easy no matter what well running box you use. In the past I've mentioned simply saving all your concentrates over a certain time of running (a day, a weekend, a week or so) and then, at the very last set...

I guess we all have "really cold" stories of our own - mine being the winter of 66-67 where at Mendeltna Creek (it's now called just "Mendeltna" and still found where it always had been at mile 153 of the Glenn) it was down to -151 for a few nights. The big thing is that that was air temperature. No...

Great to hear!
I'm stuck here in the lower 48 this summer due to a medical thing so production is at a firm 0 oz this season.
NEXT YEAR Charlie Brown, Next Year!
