The Alaska Gold Forums

Hmmm - maybe how many pancakes and how much coffee you had for breakfast? You're right, WAYYYYYYYY too many variables - but here are some thoughts: first off, on air or not on air. 2' to bedrock or 7' to bedrock means sometimes yes and sometimes no how compact the gravel is and does it sluff off int...

Dick, you'd better beef-up your mantel and get some hyper strong hangers for that stocking! For me, right now, I simply hope that I can just make it back to Trapper Creek this coming spring. A year ago, besieged with truck breakdowns for over 4 continuous months, had me traveling the Alcan during a ...

Just a quick post to wish all my many friends here on the forum the very best Christmas and, of course, a great New Year. Now, that may not be a Gold related post this time - but I think I'll do it anyway. :lol: I hope that this New Year will finally start the recovery process to regain the common v...

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...

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 . 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 work unoc...

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!
