Got back from nome a couple weeks ago, did some of my first fishing there and caught a few dinners. Saw that white tundra at A.C many times. Sat right there at the mouth of the Nome river and caught the best fish I've had in my life. Going back this week for another job and going leave with all that I can.

What would the oilers do? Also, I've heard that early dredges in the early 1900s required dozens of people to operate. What would they all be doing?

Shame

Could somebody explain who was Carrie M McLain please, it would have been nice to have known about Carrie during the grand opening maybe? Many thanks from the UK 🇬🇧. Phil

I just love these bucket line dredges, amazing technology for when it was built 100 or so years ago, amazing and one day I might have a vacation to Alaska and visit Nome to see one of these massive leviathans, thanks for sharing this video, greetings from the UK 🇬🇧. Phil

anyone in nome alaska? so i am do or die now. 52 years old. and been watching gold shows like jeff williams and most others for many years. i just want to try this. price to fly here now is 355 dollars and I may just do it. I'm partially disabled I can walk just not jog or run. i would be bear food. 4 shore. but still, I want to try before I die. its the experience, not the money. now i am on disability and need money but i have to try or die. do or die. any help or any info? anything? i want to go to nome far west

Nicely done video. I visited the Dredge (#3 I believe) next to the Chatanika Lodge near Fairbanks. I believe it's close in size to this one. Unfortunately that one was burned by vandals.

Tony beets use one in gold ruch

#STOP GOLD DREDGING IN ALASKA. STOP #TONYBEETS from destroying #INDIANRIVER ban all water use license on gold dredging super destructive for the environment #alaskaboycot

The value of gold is not high. The value of the USDollar is low.

I don't know about that "water detection" machines, but I have been in the mineral and water detection business for about 30 years now and so far I have tested a lot of machines, only to find they did not work and the money spent went down the drain. My water Dowsing is a hundred% accurate and I do it from a photograph off of Google earth images. Of course I find other things also, like precious-metals, graves, crude-oil. I can scan five to ten square miles from a Google Earth image in about a day and mark the water or mineral locations, large and small. I also discriminate the type of element, for example I can tell any one of the six platinum group metals apart from one another. And I can detect all of the stable elements on the chart of elements. I have done over 300 blind tests to this affect. I am not at all limited on depth detection. I did an oil deposit that was 6800 feet deep. Many of my blind teste were private people giving me permission to scan their houses and marking where their values were.

Right now there are claims that produce 900 oz an hour your town produces an had produced not much

#5 is massive and Tony Beets would go nuts having that thing.

RIP mr. Mayor you will be missed we all will miss you in Nome

I have buil a Lego gold dredge on lego Ideas. The Name of the project on Lego Ideas is: Full working gold dredge with power funtions. I am happy about every supporter.

Thank you great video

I've been inside dredge 5. Pretty spooky place

very interesting, very cool, thanks !

Who checks the tailings pile for monster nuggets

we used to have lot of this machine to mine a TIN in Malaysia during 70s 80s ... now only a nostalgia of the past ...

Those things are really creepy

Аляска принадлежит России!!

Amazing work.. speechless

That mayor is very passionate about gold

its so neat seeing another dredge operational in the gold fields! Not many are left in running order!

They don't use them anymore why

Awesome

Black history in malaysia. 20 alive 5 missing 3 die.

Great To see Ron Engstroem finally run his dredge, he worked on it for so long, its a neat little dredge he has there near Dexter! Best Regards from Anchorage! Lars

It is in the mix of elements that GOD made Earth from. We know this because all humans have traces of gold in our bodies so logically it must have been ingested from our food and water. Read Genesis how Earth was made as a ball of water and basic elements. When the water dried off due to disassociation into oxygen and hydrogen the hydrogen floated off into space while The oxygen remained to combine with elements to make all the OXIDES that are mined. The gold being heaviest remained under the crust in the superhot water. During The Flood 4,350 years ago the water escaped through the crust grantes and much of the gold cooled and was locked in quartz veins. More gold escaped and precipitated out on the surface. Subsequent rains washed the gold out and settled it in placer deposits. The placer deposits can have nuggets up to the monster ones found in the Australian outback while much is fine dust. Logically in areas of hard granite all placer gold will have washed downhill into the nearest deep water.

We have a dredge that look the same in Australia. ruclips.net/video/iXS-g_QNtQg/видео.html

Who’s here after the psat?

Yeah they used to do this 50 years ago

Mosquitos up there aren't big. Around the up of Michigan I saw one with a wood tick on it.

Sometimes the dredge tailings pile is very lucrative with a gold detector. Those big dredges missed alot of gold big and small.

Left Nome Ak almost 29yrs after high school. love, to come back and visit the place and so much memories

With Centrifugal concentrator Flexicone you can get twice more gold

WOW I can’t believe the size of some of these dredges...... some engineering feat for their time but also the space needed for them to work in.....🤔 not to mention their working environment 🤭

Dredging is easier than other forms of mining true......but it is also one of the 2 most destructive ways to mine alluvial placer gold

Don’t the mosquitoes just about bone a person out in those parts? I heard tell that the black fly is the state bird lol

interesting video

Beautiful machines that just sitting there doing nothing. How dumb can you be not to be running these machines. The amount of gold it can make you is insane. You dont need 5-6 machines working to dig and move dirt. You have everything there in this machine. You just need water and you are good to go pretty much.Just look at tony beets. His dredge probably made him 1000 ounce already.

Yes but built in todays times.

What happens if a nugget bugger than 3 inches goes through? Does it end up in the tailings?

Mayor dude reminds me of Gene Wilder

Great video 👍I would love to make it up there some day and get a pan in the water!

I only buy it :| I like throwing it back too.

Its hard to beleave man can build such monsters.
