The Blue Ribbon Mine, Alaska, Alaskan Pipeline Gold Trommel

Cir 1996, Phase IV of the Potato Patch residual Lode/Placer polymetallic exploration, in edit stage of the video. The first ~30 seconds are black screen, this is where the title, credits etc will be. Video on Youtube: Alaska Gold! Blue Ribbon Mine Placer Trommel made from a piece of the TransAlaska Pipeline.Video is of a gold placer mining plant called a trommel, custom built using a piece of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. It's on Gopher Mountain, at the Potato Patch in the Historic Blue Ribbon Mine west of Petersville, Alaska. Check out the website for photos, maps, files and guides for prospecting, Blue Ribbon Mine and stay tuned for the release of "Ghost Gold of The Yentna" listing hundreds of spots I've found: caches, camps and more clues for the intrepid adventurer treasure seeker. See also "The Mystery of The Cache Creek Murders". This is a raw video, I'm working on a edited and better version, with explanations, drawings. etc. Yes, the first 30 seconds are blank. Also, this is my 1st time doing this video thingy. I'm Dennis R. Garrett, thanks for watching.
