northoceanbeach Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I was looking, just at wikipedia articles about gold found in Alaska. Particularily the southeast from Juneau to Ketchikan. Now, I am a beginner, but I know to successfully nugget hunt you have to have nuggets. And certain placers have more lode gold, certain tiny placers, and certain placers have nuggets big enough to shoot. I'd like to know if anyone has been up to SE Alaka and if they had any luck and also whether there is suspected good MD'ing grounds there.

alienbogey Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 As far as I know Juneau is the best and perhaps only chance for SE Alaska nuggets. I have gotten pickers from sniping/sucking bedrock and I've picked up a piece of quartz on a trail that has (barely) visible gold in it. I've detected there once with no luck, but the ground was not so highly mineralized that a VLF detector wasn't effective - I found the usual bullets, bird shot and shell cases with no trouble.
