Big Thunder Gold Mine

Big Thunder Gold Mine Big Thunder Gold Mine We are a family-run and owned business. Big Thunder Gold Mine is an original 1880's gold mine located right below Mt. Rushmore.
(438)

We specialize in great customer service and being very personable with our customers trying to make them feel like they are just on of our relatives coming for a visit. Some of the things that we feature at our gold mine are the mine tour which entails history about the mine and the surrounding area and then going into the museum which is a replica of the tycoon mill and seeing how they would process the gold after it was taking out of the mines with all original equipment from the 1800's. We also have gold panning available and we do give you demos for the gold panning and you are guaranteed to find gold and we will stay with you until then, and answer any question you may have for us!!! Just starting this season, we are doing full and half days of panning, we take you down to our claim and you get to pan for gold in the creek and dig for it as well!!!
