Gold mining in Alaska

Gold mining in Alaska is when people use a machine to dig in the ground to find gold. They use a big machine called a digger to make big holes in the ground and then they sift through the dirt to find tiny pieces of gold. When they find the gold, they collect it and keep it. Gold mining isn’t easy work but it can be very rewarding. Alaskan gold miners often work in very cold and wet places, so they wear thick coats and boots to help stay warm.
