Is There Good Gold 12 Miles West of Nome, Alaska?

Great to see you out there again Bryan and to have Gary with you again is awesome 👌

Put the end of your intake in a bucket secure with a bit of wire . Put bucket in ocean bucket fills with water turn pump on..no sand . I use this in muddy streams

Bring your box closer to your work I never was any more than 3 steps from my outfit . It was easy to move and on wheels . Lots of Proper prospecting helps loads . On river sand bars I would dig shallow shovel wide trenches perpendicular to the waters edge and away from the water. The trenches would be about 10 feet apart . one would shovel the skimmed material into a pan till full . pan then continue . This method would delineate your pay streak .Flour gold was what was the target and one would look for 150 -200 colors per pan before setting up . Material was classified on a curved 1/4" screen Collecting the flour gold was 98% caught on just old wool blanket NO riffles . Yes it works in fact the wool blanket tray was on a 24degree angle . Although the sluice was set up to catch other types of gold . It seems in your area beach mining, one looks for garnet and a layer of clay ? .

I feel like because your running fines, you would really benefit from using miners moss, even just 1 section of your sluice. Folks all over the world go and dig gold on beaches and set up extremely primitive sluice boxes, but how they succeed is the miners moss and running lots of material and all by hand. 👍

Can't wait to see the next spot. Tell Vern to just get some R&R, so you can go back😉 Or better yet, take us with you when you take the boat out! 😊

Thats a lot of fine gold just sitting below a fella's feet! Look forward to seeing the next spot, moving that box is a good idea. see you on the next one👊

That's still not bad. I'd take it all day long. Those beaches look like a sweet place to hang out and make gold that's forsure! Hope you guys have a good season on the boat!

Remember to air down your tires when driving on sand.

Yeah! Beach mining! Look for red-brown strata

Always enjoy watching your trips sweet gold on that beach!

Great job all around fam. I got to do a lot of digging to get that au lol. Keep on having fun and living the dream fam. Gold Squad Out!!!

I like the guy with the excavator and plant set up on the beach. That seems very efficient

Bryan, Can you all get out on the Cripple river, The GPAA used to have a large camp out there. I don't know if it's still in operation or not. But I found good gold there in the early 90's. Thanks for a great episode.

Yes zek went east and west and found gold good to see Gary with ya

Thanks!

Mr. Bryan, thank you soooo much for making all these Nome videos! You have showed me so much more than I could find doing 'research.' I now know what materials, equipment, and tools I need to ship up there for my own trip this July, and what to expect and to specifically look for on the beach. That info is priceless. Hope I run into you up there this year, maybe you could show me around a little??? I'll buy ya a fancy beer. If you need to ship something up to Nome from Seattle, we have few containers leaving Seattle on May 12, 2023.

I like the truck! It reminds me of my 2003 Dodge Ram that now has 477,000 miles and still going strong.

Pritty dam cool. Can’t wait to see how the 100ft area works out

I prospected there back in 2004 and 2005. Used a beach box too. Nice gold.

Great job! Thanks for sharing!!
