One of our favorite places very local to Anchorage is Crow Creek Mine.Īlaska Dredging will supply you for the full adventure of gold dredging in Alaska. Then there is always Petersville Creek area which is a solid 3 hour drive to get to the recreational area but a very beautiful day drive with the hopes of seeing Mt. Caribou Creek is about 2 hours to the north. “Now anyone can dredge for gold with the Packrat ll Dredge by the day or days.”Īlaska has several places for small-scale mining within a couple hours drive of Anchorage.īertha Creek area is south of Anchorage about 2 hours. Partly because its expensive to get into or the fact that there are no other companies that rent out this type of dredge. After doing several gold/sportsmans shows and hearing what folks would say about always wanting to try it but never had the opportunity to do so. I'm Kevin Gifford, I have been co-owner of the Packrat ll backpack dredge manufacturing production facility for 8 years.
