Mining Claim Lease or Rental in Alaska Gold Panning
#0183;#32;Back in 1980 there was a Gold rush in Alaska and else where, as the price of gold hit over 800 an ounce. I and 3 friends went to Alaska to spend the summer mining for gold. Researching at the BLM in Anchorage it seemed pretty much everything accessible by vehicle was claimed up. One lady had staked 900 claims.
