Admission includes all-day access from 10 AM to 5 PM. You can dig at your own pace, take breaks as needed, and keep everything you find—there are no weight limits or additional fees. We limit access to just 20 people per day to ensure a comfortable, uncrowded experience.

Tailing pile digs are by appointment only, and reservations must be made through our website at least one day in advance. This helps us manage group size and ensures that every visitor has the space and support they need to enjoy the experience. The mine is conveniently located just 5 to 10 minutes from local restaurants, grocery stores, and hardware shops—so it’s easy to grab food, supplies, or ice during your visit. While the road in is gravel, 4-wheel drive is not necessary. Regular passenger vehicles can access the site without issue.

Hand tools only are permitted. You're welcome to bring your own gear, but we also offer tool rentals, shade umbrellas, and pop-up gazebos on-site for those who want a little extra comfort while they dig. We strongly recommend bringing plenty of water, sunscreen, and weather-appropriate clothing.
