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. 

Over the last eight years over 1,415 ounces of gold were found by

prospecting metal detectors on the Ganes Creek property!                 

Opening Week Ganes Creek 2009

The first detecting week of 2009 started off the summer in style

bringing home from their trip to Ganes Creek 14 ounces of gold. 

There were 6 nuggets found over the 1 ounce mark, the largest

uncovered by Loraine Cruise on the last day of the week, and

weighed 2.65 ounces.  Our start up crew this summer also had

something to smile about as the brought in an additional 11

ounces of gold.  Including a 4.5 ouncer, found by our resident

metal detecting guru, Dave Rankin, and a 2.45 ounce nugget

found by Bob Carlson. We hope everyone enjoyed themselves,

and our thanks goes out to our startup crew and our guests from

week one, for their positive attitudes and steady enthusiasm.
