Big Jake (AKA Dan Jacobson) has been a lawyer and a South Florida resident for over 30 years. About 5 years ago, he took a trip to Alaska and spent a week prospecting for gold. It was a life changing event for Jake. Living in the wilderness, away from all the comforts of civilization (and all the headaches), and seeing that GOLD in his pan was an experience he just could not give up. When he returned to Florida, he decided to purchase some gold mining claims in Alaska. It was a chance to do something wild and different, and he took it. He bought the claims, closed down his law practice, and moved to Alaska to prospect for gold.

Big Jake now spends his summers in Alaska searching for gold on several claims that he owns with his partners. So far, he hasn’t struck it rich, but there is always next year! Everyone who comes to Alaska wants to try their hand at panning for gold. Jake thought it would be fun to bring that chance to everyone. When you see that gold in your pan, you will feel the same thrill that prospectors throughout history have felt when they saw that first gleam of gold.

Every bag has real gold, straight from Big Jake’s Alaska claims. The bigger the bag, the more gold and bigger gold you will find. Jake’s claims are also rich with garnets, so keep an eye out for them while you are looking for your gold. So, pan a bag and get some of that GOLD!!
