have not been there as yet, but would like to try our luck next year

Looks like a true adventure. I've panned for gold, and I know the odds can be against one finding anything, but it looks like a blast to do.

Found out about the mines from the Travel Channel (Discovery) and I'd like to visit one day. Looks like it'd be fun. Goodluck to all of you.

Hello all, sure miss every body. Just wanted to say HI..Dick

Hi Joy and Harry, We're planning to come up there for a week (or two if pickings are good) about the second or third week of September. Thought maybe I'd better check and see how things were going. We have a problem down here with mosquitoes and the West Nile virus. Has it reached your area? We'll have to bring lots of repellent if it has. Let us know if we can bring you anything... Jack says Harry will want milk and graham crackers (he's almost Texan). Well be coming through Lakeview but don't know if the darned phone will work. Best to all,Diane and Jack Bernard

We plan on visiting you nexr summer after my husband retires. Digging for opals has really interested us. We also gold pan and metal detecting.

need more information on topics relateing to opals

Would like to come out in 2005. What is the best time weather wise? Can wifes dig with there husbands or do they need to pay a full rate? Anybody stay in the rented trailers and how are they. If we dug for five days, what would be our chances of finding a piece of opel. Thank You

Just signed in to look and plan a trip there in September.
