Detecting Updates 2010

Opening Week June 13-19

The opening week of detecting at Ganes Creek

continued its steady record of success and yielded

53 nuggets, 17.68 ounces!  The largest nugget

of the week was found by Bernie Pendergast, 

weighing 3.24 ounces.  This group, despite stormy

weather, kept very positive attitudes and were a

pleasure to have visit Ganes Creek. Our thanks go 

out to everyone, and we look forward to seeing

them in the future. 

Bringing home the Gold June 20-26

The second group of the summer continued to bring 

home the gold, and brought in as a group 24.70 ounces!

The high marks for the week go to Buzz Rasmussen who

found a good looking 3.45 oz piece, and to Bernie

Pendergast who uncovered a solid 5.85 oz nugget. 

We hope everyone enjoyed the Friday night send off, and

had a good week of detecting at Ganes Creek.

The "July Guys" June 27- July 2

The Guys from the end of June and early July found over

21 ounces of gold during their stay, including the

largest nugget of the year so far, a very clean and

solid 6.2 ounce nugget found by Buzz Rasmussen. 

Buzz had himself a terrific two weeks, finding and bringing home over 17 ounces of gold!  As a collective group

over 45 nuggets were found, including 6 over the one

ounce mark. This group of guys were a lot of fun and

we hope to see them in the future.

The Final Group of the Season July 18-24

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.
