Alaska born 1958. Lived most my life in Palmer. Where I currently reside. Very proud to be from a family that includes Alaskan Geologists John "Pat" and Irene Ryan, as well as 1930s-40s era Bush pilot Matt Neimenin. Spent some time in the 80s prospecting with a 5" SD with my buddy. I'm a retired horseshoer. Recently have started going back out with my little 3 foot sluice and am learning to use my GB Pro I recently purchased. I can be working the side of a hill in 30 minutes from the house but am seeking out a claim or some location that may let a guy camp for a few days and do some pick and shovel/detecting for a % of the find. Wishful thinking? I successfully worked a deal with a claim owner in years past and we each walked away happy with the other. God Bless America
