I haven't not been able to go out prior to leaving for my wedding and honeymoon, but while on my cruise to Alaska we are going on a gold prospecting excursion in Juneau. I can not wait to go get some Alaska placer gold!!!! I wish I haven't been so busy to go out before leaving but taking care of business so I can get Alaska gold is important!! Will post pics of my Alaska adventure !!!!

Ok so I just finished up y little gold prospecting adventure and the "pay dirt " they gave us wasn't to bad, but the old school metal gold pan with no riffles was my biggest problem I would have paid 20$ for the little cheap 3 black gold pans! It was cool to get a little bite of Alaska placer gold another one oft bucket list things to do checked off my list, the first was catch some Alaskan salmon and halibut and did that yesterday! My new wife and father in law had a great fishing trip



And this is the gold from the pay dirt



And here is the creek where we went today

Fishin, diggin and Honeyspoonin. Can it get any better......

Of course it can! Finding a fist sized nugget would make it better I would think.

 

[b.jmining530]

Yeah it would have been nice to have my bazooka lol but the creek we went to is a sluice free creek! Finding some big Alaska gold would have been cool but just getting a little Alaskan gold was cool and my father in law gave me his gold!

 

[b.jmining530]

The gold from the cons I bought in Skagway Alaska

 

[b.jmining530]

I haven't been on here for a while because I was having issues logging in lol. But I ave been out getting the gold. The last couple of times I went out is wasn't able to run my bazooka do to water issues but I was about to get a good amount of gold from panning



Gold from my first panning adventure



A couple of "fishing artifacts" I found on that same trip lol




And this is the gold from my last panning adventure

 

[Duckwalk]

Those hooks in your pan is a great reminder of why most of us wear gloves when moving rocks and stuff around. Glad they ended up in the pan and not stuck in the hand

 

[b.jmining530]

Yeah the big lure was on top of a big rock

Barry&amp;Jason 530 journal

So I haven't been on here for a long time, well since my last posts in my journal, I have been out a couple of times learned a lot last year in my first year of prospecting. I have met a lot of new really cool people. This picture is from one of my last trips with my amazing bazooka
This was from about 18 bucket with my buddy Jeff.
this was from a little outing that I went on with some of my buddies from the "north valley prospectors"
And this gold is from eureka gold and sands pay dirt bags,

[fowledup]

I'm in Butte County as well and very near there, also from Paradise originally. I won't be able to make it Monday we've got a house full of company, but I will mark it down for next month's meeting. I've been meaning to go by the dive center there and check out wetsuits, but I can't try them on at this time so I've been holding off until I'm healed up. Thanks for the info.

 

[b.jmining530]

Yeah. Well hope to see you next month !!! Have a fun and safe 4th of July !!
