Hello Guys, Thanks for all your comments. Yes, you can encounter bears anywhere in Alaska, so you must pay attention to your surroundings while metal detecting (especially with headphones). Two pounds of gold is 24 troy ounces in weight. Right now gold is approx. $1400 per troy ounce.
No Sir. Metal detecting is only illegal here in the US on State Parks, Private Land, Indian Reservations, National Wildlife Preserves and such. Always check the status of the land before you hunt.

Would love to give nugget hunting a go.... Good luck and hope you find a basket ball sized nugget
From the sound, he must be detecting with a leaf blower.
@guyNbluejeans I'd be afraid whether the bear was hungry or not!
I'd be too afraid that a hungry bear would jump out of the woods.
