Overview

  • This experience takes place on a real working gold claim in Kuttura, not a tourist demonstration site.

    During this 3–4 hour experience, you will learn how to identify gold-bearing soil and use traditional tools such as a gold pan, shovel and sluice. The activity is fully hands-on and includes digging, washing and checking material for gold.

    At the end, the collected material is carefully cleaned, and any gold you find can be taken home in a small glass vial.

    The group size is limited to a maximum of 8 participants to ensure personal guidance.

    Pickup from Ivalo and Saariselkä is available on request.
