Our public dig is open Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00am to 5:00pm (weather permitting). Mining permits must be purchased prior to digging at the gift shop. Tool kits can be purchased for $25, or feel free to bring your own! (No power tools) Everything you find in the public dig is yours to keep! You drive yourself to the dig site, have access to your vehicle the entire time, and are free to come and go as long as you retain the permit you receive at check in.

AVANT MINING GUIDED PRIVATE POCKET DIGS

An experienced miner will guide you and your group through our Garfield Lewis Claim on Fisher Mountain to an exposed pocket. They will provide you with digger bars, tools, and baskets for you to borrow. Our goal is for you to leave with undamaged, quality specimens. Your guide is there the entire time to help you extract pieces safely and properly. This is generally a full day dig, expect to be here anywhere from 4 hours to 8 hours so be sure to bring beverages, snacks and lunch! Your miner will help you determine when the value of the crystals matches the amount you will pay for your dig.

PRICING

Our pocket digs start at $1,000 per group of 1-3 people up to $10,000. The amount you pay for your dig will be the amount of quartz you can expect to receive in value. We value the crystals you mine on a wholesale basis. For example, if you spend $1,000 for a dig you will take home at least $1,500-$2,000 in retail value worth of crystals. Our miner's never let you go over budget without express consent from you. In the event you reject the material you dig, you agree to pay $350 for your miner's time and your experience. Your satisfaction is our top priority!

Pocket digs must be scheduled at least two weeks in advance and can be booked out as far as a year in advance. Certain times of the year fill up fast!
