Hi and welcome to Someplace Special. 

We are a small mine offering , to the public, a selection of mining ore that includes Gold ,Silver and Gemstone Ore.
    Purchase a bucket of  ore from our mine and go prospecting at one of our flumes.     ( A flume is a long box containing water. )  Place some of the ore in a shaker box for gemstones or pan for the gold and silver ,at the flume ,rinse with water and simply pick out your treasure.
 
   No digging required!!!!
 
   So far we have found  genuine  Gold Nuggets, Silver Nuggets , Ruby, Aquamarine,Garnet, Emerald ,Sapphire, Blue Apatite ,Green/Blue Kyanite, and lots of others in our ore. 
NOW OFFERING INSIDE FLUMES FOR WINTER!!!!! 
 The ore in the buckets that come from here is simply filled with Gold, Silver and Gemstones.
 
  The Gold and Silver Nuggets vary in size and in how pure they are but ,  are commonly found in the ore and  quiet valuable. 
 
   The Gemstones range from a few carets to as many as over 400 and they are valuable as well.
A recent single 2 1/2 gallon bucket yielded an amazing  5000 carats (2.2 lbs) in gemstones!!
  The best part is ..Gold, Silver or Gemstones..YOU GET TO KEEP WHAT YOU FIND!!!!  .
 
Have your stones set in rings ,  necklaces, or even a bracelet.
Its an affordable way to spend a few hours close to home.  With the high price of gas,why go away to treasure hunt when its right here, in your own back yard.  The mining ore costs $10.00 per bucket for a  2 1/2 gallon size container of any of the 3 types of ore from our mines.
 GOLD AND SILVER BUCKETS ARE VERY LIMITED AT THIS TIME. CALL TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE GOLD AND SILVER ORE.
 
Family specials...buy 5 buckets  gemstone ore and get the 6th bucket free.
Buy 10   gemstone buckets and get 3 free buckets.
 
Specials do not apply to the Gold/ Silver buckets!!!!!!!
 
It usually takes from 30 to 45 minutes to sift thru a bucket,(depending on how much bragging you do about your treasures)
 
Special rates for churches,schools and other large kids groups. CHECK OUT OUR NEW PORTABLE FLUME FOR SCHOOLS AND OTHER CHILDRENS GROUPS!!!!!
We can even do birthday parties.  Please book larger partys well in advance so we can make sure we have enough ore down from the mine.
Give us a call at (304)575-9732 to get your  mining adventure started today!!!
 

Warning!!! DO NOT  ATTEMPT TO USE GPS TO FIND  US. THE LISTING THAT GPS USES IS CORRUPT AND WILL TAKE YOU TO A TRAILER PARK.  USE THE DIRECTIONS PROVIDED

Caution!!!!! Treasure hunting can be very addictive.
Rough gemstones here are quite common and found here daily .
They are quiet valuable,but the chances of finding a multimillion dollar stone is also very slim .The use of this website and of our facility is for entertainment purposes only and is not to be used as a way to attempt to become wealthy. We reserve the right to refuse mining ore to any person or persons, we feel has become addicted to the search of our ore here
Please use common sense when considering massive purchases of gemstone ore
