Terry Soloman Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Best of luck to you up there Paul! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Hi Paul,I will be in Reno then and not back to Alaska until June 15. Sorry I will miss you or I would run to Crow Creek with you.Tools for Crow Creek are a Gold Bug 2 or White's GMT, running the small 4" x 6" coils. You can try you GP but place has been pounded. Scrape and detect using a pick and rake is the way I go.You can get pans, shovels, and sluices at Crow Creek (if they are not already all rented out). A highbanker can be very productive at Crow Creek but you will need your own. Check out my Crow Creek stories at the Steve's Mining Journal link below and the Public Mining Sites link for other possibilities in the area. Have fun and good luck!

Border Boy Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Paul you coming down before you head up? if so you can take the wet setup with you it will outperform anything out there. I just got out of the hospital and am at home now, found out it actually did rupture and had to stay a tad bit longer. Hit me up.Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
