    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 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

    Very interesting video. 1gram is worth approximately 72.00. X 11 each 792.00 each. Not bad for 3 truck fills of black sand. 22 grams in total. Nice haul for a rainy day. However it’s very expensive to live in Nome.

      @greenandgold2185 2 года назад

      In my opinion It's better to bring some fresh water to the paydirt and recirculate. That cold salt water creates to many bubbles to catch the majority of fine gold.
