If there are some that are interested in dredging in Nome and have the experience and motivation, but not the money, you might try this idea.
Work up a mining plan, gather a prospective team, investigate costs of leasing or purchasing a claim and equipment.
Add 30% to your top estimate of total costs.
Start a funding campaign on Kickstarter with the final overestimated estimate as your funding goal.
The rewards? Funders will get a small vial of Nome gold (cheap to ship) after a successful season, plus they will get access to a 24 hour live feed camera on both the dredge boat and a camera with a diver's eye view. Work the cost of wireless internet into the estimate. If Nome does not have a cell tower, then perhaps some sort of packet radio to a land line.
I'll help if anyone wants to pursue this and actually has some experience.
