The Recreational Miners Website exists to provide you with information on where and how to look for valuable minerals for fun and profit. It does so by providing free listings of recreational mining sites and "how to" articles on prospecting and mining methods.
A key concern for many recreational miners is access to places to enjoy the hobby. This is very much a family sport, and so areas are desired that are suitable for both the young and the very old. Ease of access is important. Many recreational miners are are tourists who want to experience some local history and who may know almost nothing about prospecting and mining. Areas that are clearly defined and with easy to understand rules are important. Therefore, a major focus of this website will be to list sites set aside specifically for recreational mining, both public and private.
Look here also for links to mining related parks, tours, or museums. If you have a recreational mining operation or run a mining related attraction, and have no website of your own, you can get your own web page here for free. Just contact the webmaster@recminer.com with your information and your own page will be set up at no cost to you.
