Worth a stop.Good material to mine and the mineral displays were rare,outstanding quality and educational. Limited personnel to operate so they're not open every day, just weekends at the moment. Stop in and say hello. Nice and peaceful location nestled along McKinney MINE road.Don't blink!You'll miss it!

What a refreshing and educational afternoon! Barbara took the time to separate and label our treasures that we found in our bucket. It's nice to know that there are still non-commercialized small mines still operating that provides individual attention.

Very entertaining and educational for all ages. Get one on one attention and tutorial on what you find in your bucket ($). We learned so much and had alot of fun!
