Greetings and welcome to our website. Folks call me "Prospector John," because prospecting for silver, gold, and gems in the backcountry of Alaska is my passion. I’m privileged to make a living teaching other people how to pan and prospect for gold, while introducing them to the scenic riches of our state. We teach you how to use equipment such as pans, classifiers, sluices, or dredge. Whether you’re a local wanting to learn or have family and friends visiting with a good case of gold fever, or you are a visitor from another state or country, my team and I would welcome the opportunity to introduce you to the time-honored tradition of gold mining, take you floating on the Kenai River, or help you craft an unforgettable custom backcountry trip. Call us in Cooper Landing, AK, to reserve your Alaskan adventure today!
