    I met a couple last year that told me they netted 10 1/2 oz in one day on the beach in Nome. It was all in amalgam form but they were able to safely cook off the mercury.They knew or at least met Alex when they were there.

    I’m with you on using the miners moss and grates. Over the course of the 3 truckloads, if there is even 1 or 2g of pickers getting away, that’s not good!

      I've never done the beach but I have 4 years dealing with creeks. My goal is to hit the lake superior beach to get the experience in preparation for Nome. Living in Green Bay it's only 4hrs to the lake. Can I run a 24in by 4ft sluice in Michigan?

    I knew he was gonna get you with that extra moss and metal over the carpet. Alex told me the same thing, No, only carpet. LOL

    Here, a little bit late, an old surveyor from Old Germany speaks up. I got off the hamster wheel a good 24 years ago and originally wanted to look for gold here in the Philippines with a self-built catamaran, but unfortunately the laws here are BS.
    For the coming season I'm planning a longer stay on the beach in Nome and that's why I ask: how are Alex and Roger? Did they weather the storms?
    And if anyone is looking for a place to stay for the winter in the sunny south, away from the big cities, please let us know. We have space directly on the beach, unfortunately without gold in the shell limestone and heating in the house!
    All the best and good luck from the south, which is a little too warm, my grand papa was a miner and said "Glück auf" (Greetings from the miners and means good return from the mountain) to all the miners Jürgen, Grace and Paul (14)
