Nome Gold Dredging Video

[Steve Herschbach]

I was interviewed awhile back for TV but missed the spots. Nick found one for me and I found the rest.

Great vids! Thanks for sharing

Steve--it was great to see your smiling face in video format!! Nicely done in your interviews--you're a natural in front of the cameras.

I loved the content of the video clips as well. It made me wistful for Nome and those golden beaches--it's been fifteen years now since I chased the gold on the beach.

Now that I'm a dredger, I sure appreciated the brief shots of the dredge operations--it looks like there's quite a few of them.

Thanks for posting the links.

All the best,

Lanny

The second video said the only golden beaches are at Nome...WRONG!!

You can find golden beaches all along the east side of Cook Inlet and Shelikof Strait. You can pan gold on the west side too and even at Point Woronzof near Anchorage. The beaches at Yakataga are loaded with gold as well as at Sand Point. The beaches around Montgue and Middleton islands are reported to have gold too. Then the beach near Juneau must have gold, or so Joe Juneau discovered. I am sure there are many more golden beaches than these too. No doubt Nome's beach is or was the richest of the beaches.

Does anyone know where I could find someone who is looking for a partner dredging in Nome who has the Capitol to start a small operation but I have NO experience with this at all. Im a 22 year old student who is also looking to he an entrepreneur/investor. This sounds like something I would live to do at least once in my life and I feel like I have the enthusiasm and drive to be successful and I am just looking for someone honest, knowledgable about the trade, experienced diver who would really want to try and be successful with me. Any advice or personal emails would be gladly welcomed. I am new to this forum and so I am still figuring the ins and outs of it out hope to have some responses!!

Thanks,

Steph

If someone answers you, they will most likely PM (private message) you. Good luck, and I hope someone needs an eager partner such as yourself. Dredging is a ton of work, but it can be very rewarding as well.

All the best,

What? you expect TV reporters to be interested in the accuracy of their reports??? Ratings are what is important, accuracy is hardly worth worrying about.

I am old enough to remember when they believed that accuracy led to good ratings. They are no longer reporters, but journalists. They no longer report the news, but write stories to air.
