I was working in Nome summer of 1968 and we tried without success to pan gold on the beach, there was an old guy still using a rocker eking out a living!
I actually bought gold over the counter at the bank! Bought a 1/4 ox in a vial.
Spent about 6 weeks there as we installed Fire Sprinklers in the Northern Commercial building.

Dennis - Great story. At least you tried and can say, “I panned for gold in Nome, Alaska.” Thank you for sharing.
