Amazing trip, great finds, great prices a must for rock hounds. Left with a bunch of pieces. Great roads up to the mine not too far from Thunder Bay. Very friendly owner. 5 stars

Lauren Mary

I can’t believe all the treasures I got for the price of a bucket. It was such a wonderful time with my family. My little cousins were occupied for hours and we all had a blast treasure hunting. The gift shop also has some absolutely magical pieces for very reasonable prices! Can’t wait to visit again!

Amazing friendly staff. Great inexpensive family outing. Highly recommended!

Sheena Bourne

Honestly had the best time digging through the nice fresh piles of amethyst straight from the mine. This is the place you want to go, the owners are amazing and are always around for knowledge of their great mine. Not to mention the beautiful blue, purple and red amethyst coming from their plot. I recommend checking inside the store as well, Carol makes some beautiful jewelry with the amethyst,especially the red
