Glad you got up to Alaska, and I'm so jealous! I had a gold prospecting trip planned in 2020 where I would have done some nugget hunting/detecting, but then the pandemic cancelled that. Finally made it up there last summer with my son and we did some panning (I won't embarrass myself by showing what we found - but we did find Alaska gold!). I'll have to look at that AKAU Resort and try to get up there in 2025 or 2026.Well, I’m a bit chagrined to see I haven’t been updating this for a year! I’ve been getting out digging routinely of course. My streak is 12 months longer! I recently started metal detecting with a Gold Monster 1000. These were the first “nuggets” I found, in July. I spent a week at the AKAU Resort outside of Nome. Over the rest of the week, I found 5 more detecting as well as larger nuggets found while high banking and running their small commercial scale wash plant. Fun week, I hope to go again!
And thanks for updating your "...elsewhere" thread! We all love following your adventures!
