I enjoyed your history. I dredged 3 seasons near Napolean Cr. I am 83 now. Polak Joe and his partner was killed near our hole. That was my last season. Things were getting crazy then. George Robinson was still alive on Jack Wade Creek then.
The 40 mile still has good gold if u can get on the right spot and have a good 8 inch operation,u can bank a good amount during a season with the gold prices today and what a way to live during the summer,i hope to do it some day god willing before i leave this world,lol.
@@twodudesonedredge I started out doin toilets/ pumpman did every job there was in operations all the way to training to be the Pit Boss. Ask Google for the TH-cam video of Valdez Creek Mine, Alaska. The pit boss on B crew made this video. Read the comments too and share with Johnny
Ver interesting to watch. Love hearing other people’s adventures!
We are super lucky that we get to spend time with Johnny and hear about his adventures.

When it's spring time in Alaska, it's forty below. Let's gold!!
It’s getting warmer Richard. I think we will have at least a little dredging done in a few weeks
Thanks!

Totally agree. As Johnny said about the forty mile in one of our videos, “if we weren’t getting an oz. an hour we were moving on “
I'm looking for a mining job right now, just found out Parker ain't mining in Fairbanks this summer. Tis almost the season
Sure is. Hope you find what you are looking for.
I should know Johnny, I worked at the Valdez Creek for 4 years. Trapper Scotty Riley, C crew operator
We’ll have to ask him next time we chat. What was your experience up there ?

I did overtime after my 12 hr night shift for 3 hrs cleaning the boxes with Mary and Big Bob the security guard
That sounds amazing. I’ve heard a few others tell stories of Valdez Creek
Awesome
Thanks !
He never said what beach. Haha
A gold miner never tells
