   Welcome to Ganes Creek  

                                                  Alaska!

 

   - Check out Pictures and Updates from the 2010 

      metal detecting season by clicking on the links

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

on Alaska's largest, premier nugget producing creeks - 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 on Ganes Creek

with a metal detector are some of the best in Alaska.  Roads and trails run the

length of the operation, making for easy access.  Take some time and check out

pictures from previous years and Weekly Updates from past season's, and

we hope to see you in 2010!

 

Over the last ten years over 1,600 ounces of gold were

found by prospecting metal detectors on the Ganes

Creek Property!

 

Final Detecting Update and Year End Summary 2010

The final group of 2010 finished up a very consistent season

of detecting bringing home 19.55 ounces of gold. The largest

nugget of the week weighed 3.30 ounces, and there were

seven other nuggets found that weighed over one troy ounce. 

This group, despite weather that was less then enviable was a

pleasure to have visit and we look forward to seeing them at

Ganes Creek again in the future.

 

The 2010 season was a successful one, as visiting detectors

and the Ganes Cree crew found over a 100 ounces of gold! 

The largest nuggets of the year weighed in at 6.22 ounces and

5.85 ounces, and there were also a series of nuggets found that

weighed in over the one ounce mark.

 

In closing we would like to thank everyone who visited Ganes

Creek this year. We enjoyed meeting the new detectorists and

always look forward to seeing and talking with our returning

clientele and friends, some who have enjoyed the rewards

offered at Ganes Creek for the past several years. We want to

wish everyone a great fall and winter season, and look forward

to seeing new and familiar faces in the summer of 2011.
