Eldorado Goldmine - Fairbanks
These pictures were taken from our trip to Eldorado Goldmine. The tour took us a little over 2 hrs. It was interesting and informative plus I got to keep the gold nugget I panned.

Our Tour started with the ride on the replica of the Tanana Valley Railroad. This ride took us to the permafrost tunnel where we saw kinds of mineral and rocks formation that tend to produce the most gold.

The tourist
Here he was showing us how to gold pan
A minute later, he got some gold nuggets
Each of us was given a pouch of sand and here we are, trying hard to gold pan. The nugget that we got (Joel and I) was equivalent to $45.00
