Wandering Buffalos

Get ready, we had a heck of a great 2021 season up at Gold Fever Prospecting Dredge Camp this year. We have been working hard to put together several videos that will be released soon.

In this video we take out 3 of our stream sluices for our first trip to the creek. We stayed close to home this time in Southern Ohio and was able to get a couple of hours in the creek where we found some of that beautiful gold! We used stream sluices from Keene Engineering, Robinson Prospecting Equipment and our first piece of prospecting equipment, the Buckabilly Sluice Box. Don't worry, we cleaned up our gold, dried it out, and weigh it up for you. No gimmicks! We were surprised to have found that much for moving as little material that we did in a short amount of time.

During our 2020 trip back to Gold Fever Prospecting we ran the Keene 6" Super Max Dredge. This is Keene's next generation of gold dredges that are designed for the recovery of super fine gold. The exact model we ran is the Super Max Sump Dredge and we would not have had this great of a capture rate with a standard 6" dredge.

For our 2019 trip we found more gold than we ever expected to on the Fortymile River in Alaska and yes, it felt like we found the motherlode. We ended this trip with a BANG!!! Enjoy the last video from the 2019 trip to Gold Fever Prospecting!

Franklin, Alaska was the site of the first major gold strike in Interior Alaska. It was a living town from 1887 to 1948 but is now a ghost town with its remnants being taken over by the Alaskan wilderness.

Another flashback video of our trip to Alaska where we went to Gold Fever Prospecting Dredge Camp in 2019. Amazing accommodations, great food, hot showers and awesome camp hosts! Check them out at www.goldfeveralaska.com and let them know we sent you!

We love to dredge for gold but can you imagine what it is like to dredge with a commercial size gold dredge? In this episode we get to run the 10" COMMERCIAL DREDGE for MEGA GOLD! Special thanks to Gold Fever Prospecting for letting us take part in their commercial dredge operation. This is the LARGEST DREDGE on the FORTYMILE RIVER IN ALASKA! Be sure to watch till the end to see some amazing pictures of the gold cleanup. #FindingGold​ #GoldRush​ #AlaskanGold

So there is a lot of power with the 6" gold dredge but sometimes you need to blast away material to loosen it up and capture that GOLD. We were following a gold paystreak in a gravel bar as water levels began to drop making it tough to process material with the dredge. We also were finding gold in between the bedrock cracks that was too stubborn to come out. The solution? Use a BLASTER NOZZLE on the 6" dredge to wash that material back down into the water or blast the gold out of the bedrock cracks and suction it all up into the dredge. It gets quite messy but Kathleen was able to blast away with that nozzle and recover some great gold.

So we made it up to the Alaskan Bush and now its time to find the gold. This is our first time using a Keene 6" Gold Dredge where we find a small deposit our first day out on the Fortymile River. This episode we talk about what we bring out into the field each day and showcase one of our first full days of work on the 6" dredge. We then take you back to Gold Fever Prospecting dredge camp where we show the days cleanup and gold total. Not bad for day one where we spent most of the time moving our gear into position and finding a deposit! #FindingGold​ #GoldRush​ #AlaskanGold

Ever wanted to go up to Alaska and dive for gold like in the hit TV show Bering Sea Gold? Our video series will take you along the ride to strike it rich. Our first episode takes you along our journey from our home in Ohio to Alaska at Gold Fever Prospecting's Dredge Camp! If you are looking to go to Alaska, prepare yourself for one epic journey. We first flew across the country to Fairbanks, Alaska. Then the next morning we rode in a shuttle bus for 6 hours before the final leg of the journey in a hovercraft. Along the way we stopped to hold a 5 lbs nugget in our hands! #alaska​ gold #gold​ rush #dredging​ alaska
