Welcome. My name is Jason Kincade. I am the content creator and webmaster here at The Gold Scoop. Though I’m an old fart now, saddled with old-fart constraints, I still love prospecting and mining for gold. In all my long years there has never been a labor, outside of the bedroom, more satisfying.

Driving to Alaska on the Alcan Highway—1990

Periodically, throughout my younger years, while operating on a shoe-string budget, I had the privilege and good fortune to find myself in a position to drop out of the mainstream. On several occasions, I was able to fade into the bush to prospect for and mine gold in California, Alaska, and Nevada for a year or more at a stretch.

Over those years I had lots of fun and learned a good deal about prospecting and mining along the way. Now that I’m not out in the bush chasing gold as much anymore, I enjoy sharing my experiences and what I’ve learned on pages posted here on The Gold Scoop.
