Neat photos. I always thought I would like to search for Gold. 😊

Thanks Bruce, @ St Paul Steam ... I've actually done quite a bit of that in my time, and found quite a bit too, though I've never really fully paid for gas and beer, but it is the fun that is worth far more than the gold!

Here's some of my experiences in the Klondike gold fields on this day 6-29-2010, fifteen years ago!

Sorry for the out of focus shots. One was just a grab shot on a moving bear, and the other I just tried to get too close to make the gold look bigger!

Here's a little bit more of the Yellow Stuff, from the Forty Mile River, not too far from the Klondike, in Eastern Alaska.
