The opportunity of a lifetime! Your chance to metal detect for large gold

nuggets on Alaska's largest, premier nugget producing creek. Ganes

Creek, Alaska. The largest nugget found at Ganes Creek weighed 122

ounces - over ten troy pounds!

 

Ganes Creek has produced over 250,000 ounces of gold... and much of

that gold includes some of the largest nuggets ever found in Alaska.

Thousands of acres of tailing piles contain nuggets lost by bucketline

dredges and inefficient bulldozer operations of the past. The chances

of finding very large nuggets at Ganes Creek with a metal detector are

some of the best in Alaska.  Roads and trails run the length of the

operations, making for easy access.  Take some time and check out

pictures from previous years and Weekly Updates from past seasons.

  

Over the last ten years over 1,700 ounces of gold were found by

prospecting metal detectorists on the Ganes Creek property!
