My Mother sister and I visited in early 2010 and had the best time ever. However, my Mom died in May of this year so coming back will be hard, but we are planning on making the trip anyway. I still have some material that I carted home and work over every once in a while.

This is such an awesome website......really great job.Have driven by many times and have wanted to stop but always had places to be. I try to find places for the wife to dig for stuff because she sure loves it and your place is on our to do list this year as we drive back from Vegas. We will probably just do the tailings on this trip as a way of getting off the road for a while and also get to know the place for another visit later on.I plan some rock hounding every year for Deb in Oregon so we do this every year. We will also need to get on down the road so we won't be there for long this trip. Look forward to seeing you in September

My husband and I came to the Royal Peacock the last week of July 2011.

From the moment we arrived, we were thoroughally pleased with the down-home hospitality we were greeted with!!The wilsons are wonderful people and each member of their staff was courteous, helpful and welcoming. We only dug one day (too out of shape to go for a 2nd day!)but found quite a few very nice small pieces to take home with us. Do not go expecting to become rich. It's all "luck of the draw". The staff tells you what to look for and if you work hard, have a keen eye (and a little luck) you can walk away with some nice gems. Sometimes ppl strike it big, sometimes ppl don't. Come for the experience and the adventure or don't come at all!! Expect to work your rear end off! We will definitely be back later this year and in much better shape to dig that 2nd day!!!

WOW. Thank you all soooooo much, Janet and I had the best get away. Until next time. Please take care

Hi julie we had a great time, and Mark and Jake did a great job instructing me on the wall and my daughter understood what working the tailings means and that she could find great treasure in the tailings I will tell everyone I know, and I have been telling everyone meet. Thanks.

Absolute love the website. I've been trying to get enough time off to spend some time digging for the opals and having a good time. This year I will be there with my daughter and grandson. We are all very excited about finally being able to make it over and find the beautiful opals!!

Can't wait to find my fortune at your mines!

Looking forward to my mom and I coming to your mine in August as part of our roadtrip.

I am looking foreward to coming up and taking a part in a treasure hunt. I hope I do get beginners luck.

Looking forward to digging in spring. See you then! Kadi
