Akau Gold Camp

[Tortuga]

I've been interested in doing something similar to your trip.

Would be curious what your expenses were like for the week you were there. I have a GPZ too. I think Alaska would be a little easier to do than Australia.

I might send you a PM to get more details on your trip.

Dang, Patrick, nice gold and the musk ox made the trip worthwhile...

 

hunting gold is just a good reason to wander to and fro in all the earth....

 

did you carry the detectors on the plane or in the baggage

Hey Fred, They wanted your detectors in your checked baggage and any spare batteries taped up with electrical tape and in your carry on bags.  That's a TSA rule, The airline overrode that rule  in a second when the flight was overbooked, then all carry on bags, batteries and all could be checked in.
