saw a show in April on the travel channel they only had the one episode Alaska Treasure Hunters "the Lost Rocker Mine"
they went up gold creek looked at all the old mining sites, determined that it would have looked different with glaciers.

they stopped by and talked to old Ray Rusaw out dredging in the bay https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DV_iirdi5QM
(this shows part of the show with simulations/mapping of the area towards the end)
