Alaska Gold: Crevicing, Panning and High Banking By The River

  • Join me for another night of crevicing for gold by the Casadepaga river near Nome Alaska. I demonstrate several important and rewarding gold prospecting techniques including crevicing, high banking and panning out one small bucket of gold containing clay that was stuck to the clay on rocks that I excavated. I also work about five buckets of raw material collected by crevicing through a riverside high banker and then pan it down as well. Both methods were very productive. The mosquitoes were horrendous.

    Crevicing is the way to go. When I lived in Oregon, that's the only kind of prospecting I would do. It's a good feeling to find some color in places no one else ever bothered to check.

    My grandfather was a gold panner I went with him on several occasions during Summer vacations. The day that I remember the most was the day I saw all these little red pebbles in the sand , I asked him what they were he said "they'er just garnets they're not worth anything" , so I didn't collect them I wish I would have , now that I know what garnets are and more so , I would have had something from that particular day with him , the day I remember the most.Thank You for bringing back that memory for me today , I hope you get the amount of gold that you want on this adventure , God bless you and keep you safe Virginian.

    There's something very ritualistic and ancient about the panning method, like kneading dough, carving wood, or milling grains. Thanks for taking us along!

    I learned to pan in Australia. I agree with you; nothing more relaxing than listening to the birds and gently running water and smelling the fresh air whilst sitting on the creek bank panning for gold :)

    Chigger, if you hold the pan with your left hand with the hole facing you and tap the front of the pan with your right hand the tapping will walk the gold to the front of the pan.

    • @davidhefner5668
      @davidhefner5668 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      At time 14:10 , or so, you mentioned you were on a mining claim. Here in Ohio I don't think there would be any mining claims and there for I no little about how that works. Does want rent time on the land to prospect? Is it government land? I'm assuming there is a process going about that.

    • @davidhefner5668
      @davidhefner5668 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Do high bankers have to be a certain distance from the water source? I'm guessing the alluvial material going down stream creates a problem to some people.

    Alaskan mosquitos are the worst... I went camping on a small lake in the middle of nowhere in the mountains of AK and it was INSANE. Just as many as chigg had if not more. Someone before us was kind enough to leave a couple mosquito masks behind that we didn't find until our 2nd day.. and oh man was that ever a godsend.
