Still Finding Gold on the Oldest Discovery Claim in Fairbanks Alaska

Getting my gold pan wet for the first time this season! Still finding gold on the oldest discovery claim in the interior of Alaska.

Fellow Fairbanksan here! I work up at Knox and every time I drive past Pedro’s I always tell myself that I need to stop and pan on my way home from work. Every summer for the last 5 years I’ve spent a few days there. Super relaxing, good luck prospecting!

You should stop by sometime. The best part is the history of it all.

Man I've been panning the Pedro for the last few weeks and that dang water is still cold lol I'm to the south of where your videoing

[@ThomasLees]

Awesome!! Yeah you gotta have thick rubber gloves or just sluice to keep your hands out of the water. Are you a miner or more of a prospector?

[@Settlingintoalaskaliving]

Where can I buy the screens and the sluice your using in the 5 gallon bucket? Glad to see you actually showing us
