Jim -

Potato Rake.

Hand held 'picker-uppers'. Those 30" long pincers with a pistol grip for picking your socks up off the floor.

Small (almost child's size) shovel to scoop up the treasures.

OH, an afterthought - borrow some grandkids - they love taking a trip and they are soooooo active.

>THE< best way to find out information is to go to the DNR office, and at the counter, start asking all your pre thought out questions. Computers are handy - but the results are not 100% timely or reliable. There are time delays in getting the recorded information into the data base - and sometimes ...

So, why are there sometimes separate and distinct 'types' of Gold on a claim - at least where I work, and have worked, South of Denali Park? Sometimes the color is a bit different or sometimes sizes are distinct or sometimes the ground is just very different in color or texture or composition, corre...

JED, Canada is simply a different country with different laws, policies and procedures, however they suffer from the very same core problems that we also share. Here in the US, where we all used to strive to progress in intelligently using natural resources (you know, to further our way of life) we ...

Well, I can hardly believe my eyes! Lanny is back and, it seems, as adventure filled as ever. Wonderful to see you back - and - still coming up swinging. (Here we go with the cliche's again). I'll be standing by to read some of your, and maybe your wife's, adventures (maybe in installments) again. S...

I wonder if the 8 and the 16 Tooth next generation styles would do b...

Like anywhere I guess, spotty with none to (once in a long time) good finds for a small time operation.

Say there, Welcome onboard!

I work South of you (by a lot) on the South edge of Denali Park. 39y 3 m AF enlisted. Jim is certainly right - find contacts in local mining supply stores, clubs and others with an interest. Always room for good folks in the mining community.

GEEEEZ - It's YOU !!!!!!!!!!!! Peluk - WOW! Sure been a while. Get signed up and start posting - we all want to learn what has happened over the last couple of years with you and, of course, things in Nome, too. If there is anyone with good stories it's gotta be you! Great to see you still getting t...
