    Thx for posting Bryan! If you see this post before you leave from up there.. please ask the camp owners if their claim ownership and/or access is just on the fortymile or if runs Uhler Creek also, and if so how far up Uhler creek? Also does their fortymile ground run both ways from camp or mostly up or downriver from Uhler? Thx! I am super excited to see you up there to show me what camp looks like..OMG I just saw the top tray on the cube at 18:42..Wow!

    • @AmericanGoldProspectors

I tell ya, I have four kids and once they are more grown I'm gonna be making trips like these! Lol they are far too little for trips like this yet but one day woooo! Keep on diggin!

    That was 253 grams I'm guessing so 31.1 grams in an ounce means 253 divided by 31.1 = 8.14 ounces. That's a pretty good clean up. Think that's figured right.

    I don't know about that "water detection" machines, but I have been in the mineral and water detection business for about 30 years now and so far I have tested a lot of machines, only to find they did not work and the money spent went down the drain. My water Dowsing is a hundred% accurate and I do it from a photograph off of Google earth images. Of course I find other things also, like precious-metals, graves, crude-oil. I can scan five to ten square miles from a Google Earth image in about a day and mark the water or mineral locations, large and small. I also discriminate the type of element, for example I can tell any one of the six platinum group metals apart from one another. And I can detect all of the stable elements on the chart of elements. I have done over 300 blind tests to this affect. I am not at all limited on depth detection. I did an oil deposit that was 6800 feet deep. Many of my blind teste were private people giving me permission to scan their houses and marking where their values were.

      To put it in perspective... a hunting trip to Alaska is well over $8,000 and you still have to pay to process the animal and transport it home or you may get nothing. To go see bears play on the beach for 6 days in Alaska, it costs over $6500. You get memories and pictures. To hang out with reindeer and pet them for 3 hours in Alaska it costs $300. Alaska is expensive. Hotels are $250 a night minimum in Fairbanks, restaurants are pricey. We provided everything you need to dredge, highbank, detect and clean up gold (except a wetsuit). We provide all of your food (which is exceptionally good for being in the true Alaskan Bush). We transport you to and from Fairbanks to Chicken. There are zero extra costs once you get to camp. No silly add ons, or upcharges. Plus the cost of fuel, doubled and inflation is affecting everyone. So for everything you need for 10 days, our prices are beyond fair.
      Plus, besides Vegas (where the house always wins) what other vacation do you really take, that you can go home with real, tangible Gold ;) We've updated camp even more in the last year and take very good care of all our guests. It's why our return rate is so high every year. The gold is there, the experience is incredible
