With your order of the 5 Gram Bering Sea Placer Gold Flakes, you will receive your gold in a protective glass vial. This natural placer gold has been recovered from the Bering Sea near Nome, Alaska.

Environmental hazards are among the many major challenges facing Bering Sea gold miners. The seafloor contains not only gold deposits but also methane pockets. Disturbing these pockets during dredging operations can release explosive gas, endangering both the miners and their equipment. Moreover, the unstable nature of the seabed can lead to sudden collapses or shifts, potentially burying divers or damaging mining gear.

Gold from the Bering Sea is primarily sourced from ancient deposits that have eroded over time and been carried into the sea by rivers and streams. This gold typically appears as fine particles, flakes, or nuggets, settling on the sea floor alongside heavy minerals like magnetite and black sand.
