    I could just sit there and look at the view for hours. The gold is just a bonus. Hopefully I will be there next June. It's been over 25 years since I was there the last time!

    Hey Frank
    After finding gold and enjoying the day
    Hope your helpers at least got a Walmart gift card
    I’m sure Alaska has child labor laws
    Any how you should always end your videos with a segment called
    Making noise with a Hand Cannon!!!

    My girlfriend is trying to manually pan a bucket of sand. She is convinced there is gold in it but I think it's all fools gold by now.

      Panning that much material is time consuming but effective for sampling. It's also good practice. Fool's gold (pyrite) is pretty easy to eliminate once you're used to it, it's really lightweight comparatively. Thanks a bunch for watching!

    Would a front end loader be legal to use there? They need a smaller shovel by the way.

      😂no on the loader and no way to get it there even if it was legal. The little shovel is for back packing into remote locations to test pan and such, I definitely wouldn’t want to have to do real work with it.

      It's most commonly just called a creek box or creek sluice. Thanks a bunch for watching and subscribing!

    How much it weigh ? Just wondering

    • @alaskatruoutdoors9238
      @alaskatruoutdoors9238  4 года назад

      No idea, just a test pan. Not really worth trying to weigh. Thank's for watching!
