Jerry and Sue McLain at Fairbanks

     One of the guides stands behind an ore bucket used to carry pay dirt from the mine to the surface.  The pay dirt was dumped on a pile and from there shoveled into a sluice where the pay dirt was panned, a process whereby the dirt was washed away and the gold nuggets remained.
