Head inside this museum to take an underground tour on a real mine cart, complete with tool demonstrations along the way. After the tour, you can pan for gold for as long as you want, and you’ll get to keep any treasures you find. While you're not going to get rich, you'll find it quite exciting to discover a shiny flake in the bottom of your pan. This is a very rustic, original mining museum; so don't expect comfort, just lots of reality.
