CAN I BRING MY OWN EQUIPMENT?
Yes, you may bring some equipment, but space is very limited in the helicopter. You may bring a metal detector. We provide highbankers, dredges, hand tools, pans, etc.

CAN I BRING AN RV?
Sorry.

WHAT IF I WANT TO SLEEP OUTSIDE, SAY IN MY OWN TENT?
Yes, you may bring a tent but please inquire before planning on it. Our cabins are very comfortable.  Again, space in the helicopter is limited.

DO I GET TO KEEP ALL THE GOLD I FIND?
Yes, the Agreement is `finders keepers'. However, if working in groups of two persons, you will be expected to split the take 50/50. Top

HOW IS THE GOLD SPLIT UP ON A COMMON OPERATION?
When working with a backhoe and a common operation is run with two persons or more, more material is moved and processed. Therefore, more gold is found. The gold is placed in a single container and then distributed at the end of each day to those working attending. Larger nuggets are drawn by pulling random names from a hat. First names get their choice at the nuggets, one draw per nugget until they are gone. The rest of the flakes and flower gold is split by approx. weight and each guest gets an even share.

WHAT IS THE COST FOR THE TRIP?
With everything provided, including food, equipment and accommodations, a 5-DAY TRIP is $1850.  See CALENDAR for the list of scheduled trips.

Top

CAN I PROVIDE MY OWN FOOD?
Yes, but our food is excellent, and you can spend more time mining than cooking if we provide your meals. We no longer offer a discount for providing your own food and cooking.

Top

WHY DON'T WE WORK OUR PROPERTY OURSELVES?
We do, and spend much time doing so. The TRIPS offer to us a way of sharing a very unique property and opportunity with people who enjoy the same activities we do but don't have either the equipment, property or background. We enjoy both working our property in private and sharing it with others during the trips. Its a balance that we've made that makes our guests, friends, and even the many environmentalists happy. The alternative to our trips and small processes is to work all of the property using heavy equipment. Our activity is clearly the better of the two from an environmental perspective. We just don't wish to make our property look like the moon surface!

CAN I GET A DISCOUNT AND WHAT MUST I DO TO GET ONE?
To receive a discount, please inquire.

Top

WHAT DO WE NEED TO BRING?
You will be mailed a list of things to bring.  They should fit in a 22" duffle bag.
