This place is great we went during the week on my birthday and had the place to ourselves. They do close at 6 pm off season so make sure you know that since it says 8pm on the website. We got so many crystals some from the creek and some from a bucket. It was fun and organized. I highly recommend this place see picture... read full comment

This place was very good for the mining experience. After digging in the river. We splurged on a mid size buck and was very impressed with the stones, gems, rubies and nice piece of amethyst. Rose quartz and petrified wood. Had a great day. Everyone was very nice. Will definitely plan another day here in the future.
