Welcome to Ganes Creek

-
metal detecting season by clicking on the links
at the bottom of the page!
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!
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.
