Worlds Fastest Gold Pan Alaska
An annual speed panning competition in Fairbanks, Alaska proves who is the best gold panner in the state.
A full pan of dirt and 3 lead sinkers requires accuracy, speed as well as efficiency. Lead has a specific gravity of 11, where gold is 19, meaning that the lead sinkers are easy to lose!
The 2018 winning time was :10.34 seconds and the champion took home a $200 Poke O' Paydirt from Gold Daughters.
Watch til the end to see the Gold Daughters, Jordan and Ilaura, go head to head to see who has the fastest pan. This might be a world record...

OUR STORY SO FAR:
We are Cory & Kristen Williams and in August 2014 we made the long drive from Southern California to Alaska to move into our new home in Eagle River. Here we’ve had the chance to explore Alaska, experience lots of wild events, meet lots of great people and endure the extreme temperatures that the north is known for. On December 20th, 2014 we got engaged after our Polar Plunge under the Northern Lights then later married by our favorite lake on May 23rd, 2015. Then on June 23rd, 2016 we had our first child. A baby girl named Chell.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT DOES DudeLikeHELLA MEAN?:
Dude is me, Cory. I am the dude. Like is a joining word which is used to express similarities and HELLA is slang for a lot or in my case, the greatest amount. So together, DudeLikeHELLA means The best me I can be.

Panning for Alaskan Gold at Gold Dredge 8
This video shows a fun part of the Gold Dredge 8 tour where everyone gets to pan for gold, and the best part is that you get to keep the gold that you find and they will weigh it for you and tell you its value at today's gold market prices. Between my wife and me we had $32 worth of gold, but others got a lot more. If you're in Fairbanks, AK then I'd definitely recommend the Gold Dredge 8 tour. Check out my other video highlighting the Gold Dredge. If you like this video then make sure to give it a thumbs up!
