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.

My family and I had a wonderful time! We had mined at Gem Mountain in Phillipsburg the week before and we were looking to get more sapphires. I called and made an appointment. It's a bit off the beaten path, about a 45 minute drive from Helena, on mostly gravel roads, so don't drive your Beemer or 'Vette!
Once we arrived, Eric gave us a quick demo of the screening process and gave us instructions. It's a pretty good deal for $100 I think! Essentially you use three screen sizes to weed out the big stuff and the fines (pro-tip you can plan the fines for gold. The dredge that worked the area back in the day missed all the small gold.). The material from the medium and small screens goes into 6 five-gallon buckets. Once you have your six buckets of sorted gravel, you split it into 12 half buckets which Eric runs through the jig. Once that's done, the concentrate gets flipped onto a table for you to sort through. We found a couple bigger stones right away, but had to wash the gravel again with a hand screen and work through it bit by bit to find the rest.
All told we spent three hours there and came away with a few sapphires worth cutting. Several in the 2.75-3.00 carat rough size. Nothing monstrous, but decent size, color and quality. All told, we got a couple dozen pieces over .75 carats.
We are already planning our return trip!

Fantastic experience! Got to keep everything I found and even took a container of sifted rough home with me and I'm still enjoying the fun of finding sapphires! Bruce was extremely helpful and very nice. Loved talking with him and can't wait to go back!

Bruce and his family here on site are so much fun! Loved the 'show and tell' and tour of the mining operation. Took lots of time with us to go over history of the area. Easy hands on experience and a beautiful drive on an early fall day. Could not have been better!

There are good directions to the mine on the website, which I can't link to here, but google it.
The last few miles are terrible gravel / dirt roads, but as long as you go slow, you'll be fine. Your GPS may act up, but stay on Favorite Gulch Road after the turn close to the river. There are several small mining operations in the area, so look for the two MBJM signs flanking the road.

Hey guys, we were up at your place last year but there were no signs or indications that you offered fee digs. We know how much work it takes, but we like digging for the gems rather than buying "seeded" bags of gravel. Many (35) years ago we worked the Eldorado digs with some success, but now , well, not so much. Send me some pricing for individuals and for a party of 6, for a day of digging and jigging. Thanks

We live in the area and went in just to see if we wanted to come back. A lday and her kids were the only ones looking. We were talking to the guy and the lady starts getting excited and comes over with a stone. He said wow, held it up. It was a gray blue a little bit smaller than my pinkie fingernail. We are going back this year.
