⚒ See colorful minerals and crystals in tunnels blasted by hand from solid volcanic rock.
⚒ Watch mining equipment demonstrations the way it was done with air powered drills, slusher, and mucking machines dating as far back as the 1930's.
⚒ See the incredible 1904 Old Hundred Boarding House perched on a sheer cliff 2,000 feet above the mine!
⚒ Pan for real silver, copper, and even gold - and keep what you find!
