About This Item

The Racketeer Gold is in Alaska

This trackable gold bar is in the Land of the Midnight Sun, home of the Golden Heart.  Alaska has a history rich in colorful con men and gold rushes to Juneau (1880), 40-Mile (1890s), Sunrise/Hope (1895-98), Nome (1898), Fairbanks (1902) and Hatcher Pass (1920s-1940s) just to name a few, which makes a great combination for some Racketeer-like adventures.

Recreational gold panning is allowed at three state parks: Chugach State Park, Independence Mine - State Historical Site and Kenai State Park.
