点评:So I will start off by saying we absolutely had a blast in the mine. Our tour guide Bryan was super knowledgeable and gave us so much more than the basics. We would definitely recommend him and the tour to anyone coming out this way. If you're tall, be prepared to quite possibly smack your head off the ceiling and if you're claustrophobic, it might not be for you. They do give you hard hats, which is a must. So much information packed into such a short amount of time.
The panning that comes with it is nice for the kiddos. Ours, (6 year old), had a great time swirling the pans around and looking for cool rocks, but the water was freezing since we did come in October. Not exactly worth the time for the adults, but little ones would love this. Plus you get to take home what you find.
We also did the half day panning experience with Mike and that was a lot of fun. We got to climb a little up the mountain and dig for gold with little shovels, a sieve and a bucket. You could get as many buckets in that time frame as you could to increase your chance for getting gold as you wanted. We ended up walking away with about 7 flakes of gold, and a bunch of garnets. We had a great time and Mike was especially patient with our little one spending the whole time playing with the pups he brought a long the walk with us.
翻译:首先我要说的是,我们在矿场玩得非常开心。我们的导游布莱恩知识渊博,他教给我们的远不止基础知识。我们强烈推荐他和这次旅行给所有来这里的人。如果你个子高,做好头撞天花板的准备;如果你有幽闭恐惧症,这可能不适合你。他们会给你安全帽,这是必须的。在这么短的时间内,包含了这么多的信息。
淘金活动对孩子们来说很棒。我们家6岁的孩子玩得很开心,他旋转着淘金盘,寻找凉爽的石头,但是因为我们是10月份来的,所以水很冷。对于大人来说,这不太值得,但小孩子会喜欢的。而且,你还可以把找到的东西带回家。
我们还和迈克一起体验了半天的淘金,非常有趣。我们爬了一点山,用小铲子、筛子和桶挖金子。你可以在这段时间内尽可能多地装桶,以增加获得金币的几率。我们最终带走了大约7片金箔和一堆石榴石。我们玩得很开心,迈克对我们的小宝贝特别有耐心,让他全程陪我们一起散步的小狗玩耍。
