Our story began in 2016, I purchased a historic 45+ acre mine, located in the gold rush town of Mariposa, Ca. My mine supplies my gem and mineral shop, Yosemite Crystals! Most people report our 2 hour gold panning trip as the highlight of their vacation! If you have ever watched Gold Rush, and dreamed of panning gold, Daniel (Owner), is an avid gold prospector.
