Meet the Business Owner: Bob M.

I bought this land with 10 silver mines on it in 2017. Soon as I saw the old mine, I knew I had to restore it to it's former glory, and so the process begins. After being in AZ in 1980, I knew I was going to retire out here. Truth be told, I work harder now than I did before I was retired. Everyday we find artifacts that were lost or left behind in these mine shafts as well as other old silver mines. The origional assayers office is 50' from my shop and while metal detecting, I found a small silver coin from Sweden from 1859. These are not only mine shafts but there is a cave system that runs throughout this area. The geology and minerals change from mine to mine. We have pulled out some beautiful mineral samples of silver ore, blue opal, aurichalcite, malachite, colored quarts, green and pink flourite and many other great specimins. This is a physiclly demanding tour so please keep that in mind while booking the tour.
