Gold Panning Booth - Learn How to Strike Gold Like a Pro
At the Gold Panning Booth, you can learn how to strike gold like a pro. Our experts will guide you through the process and teach you where to find places to pan on your own.
In the late 1800s, Last Chance Gulch in Helena, MT was the site of one of the largest gold strikes in the United States. Today, you can still find gold in the area, and at Deals on Wheels Gold Rush Days Booth, you'll learn how to do just that.
To start, you'll need a pan and some water. Our experts will show you how to use the pan to sift through the gravel and find the gold. You'll learn how to shake the pan back and forth to let the heavier gold settle to the bottom, while the lighter dirt and gravel washes away.
But the real trick to gold panning is knowing where to look. Our experts will show you where to find the best spots to pan for gold, whether it's in a river, stream, or creek. You'll learn how to identify areas with high concentrations of gold and how to stake your claim.
And if you want to take home some gold of your own, you can purchase bags filled with gold dust from Montana Prospector. Show off your newfound wealth and impress your friends and family with your gold panning skills.
Sapphire Mining Booth - Discover the Beauty of Gemstones
At the Sapphire Mining Booth, you'll discover the beauty of gemstones and learn how to search for sapphires like a pro. You'll even have the opportunity to purchase buckets of sapphire-rich gravel from Spokane Bar Sapphire Mine and continue your search at home.
Now, let me tell you a story about sapphire mining in the late 1800s. Back then, men would work for days, weeks, even months searching for the perfect gemstone. They'd sift through dirt and gravel, picking out any glimmering rock they could find.
One day, a rough and tumble miner named Jack was out in the field searching for sapphires. He'd been at it for hours with no luck, when he spotted a beautiful blue stone glinting in the sun. He eagerly picked it up, only to realize that it wasn't a sapphire at all, but a discarded marble from a nearby child's game.
Now, I'm not saying that you'll find marbles at the Sapphire Mining Booth, but I am saying that you'll have a blast searching for beautiful gemstones. Our experts will guide you through the process and teach you how to spot a sapphire among the gravel. You'll learn how to sift through the dirt and find those glimmering stones that make your heart skip a beat.
Metal Detecting Booth - Discover the Treasure Hunt
Are you ready to discover the treasure hunt? Then come on down to the Metal Detecting Booth, where you'll learn how to use a metal detector and search for buried treasure like a pro.
A metal detector is a special tool that can help you find metal objects buried in the ground. You wave it back and forth over the ground, and when it detects metal, it makes a beeping sound. Then, you use a small shovel to dig up the spot where the metal detector beeped, and you might find a coin, a piece of jewelry, or even an old button or nail.
Today, metal detecting is a popular hobby for treasure hunters of all ages. At the Metal Detecting Booth, we'll have coins hidden in the grass, and we'll teach you how to listen for the sound of change. You'll get to use a metal detector and dig up the coins you find, just like a real treasure hunter.
Are you ready for an adventure? Then mark your calendars for May 6th and head down to Pioneer Park in Helena, MT for Deals on Wheels Gold Rush Days Booth! This family-friendly event is jam-packed with activities and excitement that will transport you back in time to the days of the Wild West.
