  • I visited Lemmenjoki river in Lapland to find some gold. The river has a long golden history and beautiful nature. Digging gold is hard work and usually you find nothing or very little, but it's so much fun and the excitement is always there. Hope you enjoy the video!

    Happy to see people do still remember that there is gold in Lemmenjoki despite all the fuzz made about it during last decade. Gold panning is part of history and present of Lemmenjoki and it should be cherished... I myself mine gold also in Lemmenjoki and am actually from Lemmenjoki, so yeah... nice to see some familiar scenery.

    Did you see any reindeer or are they further north this time of the year? How old is your son? He will have a lot of stories to tell his classmates. Quality of videography is superb.

    • @FinnishPlayground

      Yes we saw few reindeers on the way there, but not many. Maybe they was something going on in the reindeer farms? My son was very excited about everything so lots of things to tell when te school starts :)

I try too alternate Lemmenjoki and Vuijeminjoki but I have been more at Vuijeminjoki the last years because it's a rather new gold claim and it needs to be proper prospected.

    You not have to do a living with it ??
    And how is the landscape situation ? worn Hills ....quarz veins ...geology ... V_ shaped valley U- shaped valley ,- Fan - delta ,- gorge ,- lacustrine ...etc. etc. ?
    Was there Gold found before ,- deposites ?
    What is the expectation per yard / m3 ?
