My son has always wanted to do this sort of thing And at last we had the opportunity.
We rang up And Booked ourselves in.
The scenery was stunning and beautiful.
We were greeted by Matt, Eric and Bruce the owner.
They showed us what to do and explained everything well
They were all Very friendly, helpful And full of enthusiasm.
We Found sapphires but just being there was brilliant.
Thank you so much for making a dream come true and we hope to return asap.

It was our first time ever doing something like this and we had a blast! The guys here are so helpful and really love what they do. We learned so much and found several sapphires, a couple garnets and agate and quartz.
We would definitely come back and recommend everyone to do it!

I am so glad we saw this as attraction to do during our stay in Helena.
My husband and I filled 6 buckets of rocks directly from the minefield. We enjoyed every stage of the process as the rocks made their way to the sorter. That's when the real fun began. With Eric's expert guidance, in just a few minutes, we learned what to look for, inding lovely sapphires and garnets.
Things to think about...bring water and a decent snack. You could easily enjoy the entire day finding treasure.
What a great date!

The long ride to the mine was worth the journey. Eric was delightful and so helpful. It was a lot of work to screen six 5-gallon buckets, but the setup was nice and open, with shade available.
