From their web site:

The opportunity of a lifetime! Your chance to metal detect for large gold nuggets on Alaska’s largest, premier nugget producing creeks – Ganes Creek, Alaska. The largest nugget found at Ganes Creek weighed 122 ounces – over ten troy pounds!

Ganes Creek has produced over 250,000 ounces of gold… and much of that gold includes some of the largest nuggets ever found in Alaska. Thousands of acres of tailing piles contain nuggets lost by bucket line dredges and inefficient bulldozer operations of the past. The chances of finding very large nuggets on Ganes Creek with a metal detector are some of the best in Alaska. Roads and trails run the length of the operation, making for easy access.

The Ganes Creek Property assembled by Clark-Wiltz Mining, Inc. controls the exploration and gold mining rights to over 50 square kilometers in the Ophir mining district approximately 45 km west of McGrath, Alaska. The property consists of 90 patented federal mining claims and 238 State mining claims.
