Well preserved. Wish it had been open to panning but we enjoyed walking around and looking what was there.
We enjoyed our time here! Kids had a blast. However, we did not find any GOLD ... and was told they don't usually find Gold!! But we found a lot of Garnets, Agates and other gems. Consider this to be a River of garnets and you will love it! If you are set on finding pockets of Gold maybe go further up the mine because all the piles here have been mined and mined and mined again and all the Gold is gone.
This was an awesome experience for our family! Our guide was polite and knowledgeable, as well as very patient with all of our small kids! We went at the end of the day and they had covered areas to sit under. It isn't likely that you'll find gold, but we found a ton of garnets in the pay dirt!
The ladies there were very knowledgeable, friendly and took time to show us how to pan. We found a lot of garnets and it was a fun family activity. There is ample shade very pretty scenery surrounding the place.
Great people who stood out with us in the rain and snow in June to help us have some fun! Thank you so much especially to Jessica! She was kind to our kiddos and very knowledgable about the stones! We had a great experience and highly recommend this activity and business!
