Listings come from Google Maps (retrieved 2026-10-13, re-checked 2026-10-13: each place still appears on Google Maps and its website, where it has one, was reachable). Hours are the ones on the Google listing and many tour mines are seasonal, so check with the operator before you go. Gold Mines Map has no ties to these businesses.
Questions
Can I visit a working gold mine?
Almost never. Working mines are private industrial sites. The places on this page are tour mines, historic mines, museums and panning spots set up for visitors.
Can I pan for gold at these places?
Many tour mines include panning or sell panning buckets, and some places only do panning. Each listing links to the operator, so check what is offered, the price and any age rules.
Is this the same as the mine map?
No. The map pages use MSHA records of mines that report to the federal government. Tours and panning come from Google Maps listings, so the two lists do not overlap much.
