The Alaska Gold Forums

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...

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.

Well Sir, I've been there and done that on the "...trip to Nome" thing. Beach mining or possibly GPAA? You would be well advised to bring two VERY fine mesh classifiers (at least one 40 or 60 mesh one) and search out someone when you arrive to teach you how to pan all over again. Also - bring a few ...

So Easy, there will be some problems … Plug ups usually come along when a piece of longish gravel, traveling through the suction hose, twists or tumbles enough that it toggles inside the hose. Following gravel and sand pack the new diagonal obstruction and continues packing it until little to nothin...
