As many of you are aware, I took a group of eager nugget hunters to Ganes Creek, AK in June. Here are a few photos of some gold that was recovered. These photos are of the gravels that came from some kind of trommel system and were then run in a smaller system to remove the mud and dirt.

This was not part of our detecting trip, but we were very fortunate to be there for the right timing to view the clean-up.

BELOW..These are the pickers that they see as the system is running.
I have never seen so much gold come off of one clean up in my life.

The 64.5 ounces of gold was on a 2 man crew for 6 days. At $400 an ounce that equals $26,000. Now you have to realize that they have top end equipment and workers that need paid for too.

I am so glad that we were there to see one of the clean ups and I'll try my best to make sure that we can see one next year as well when I take another group to Ganes Creek, Alaska.
