Sweet Home Mine Contact Info? Options

[mikeybrew]

I was wondering if anyone might have contact information for the current owners of the Sweet Home Mine near Alma. I'd like to see if I could get permission from anyone to pick through any of the dumps there. Thanks!

My family happens to own two claims slightly downstream and across the creek from the Sweethome. We also have Rhodo and a variety of other minerals. Back when the Sweethome had its heyday we spoke with Bryan Lees about developing our claim but he felt that the cost and legalities were prohibitive. However, my father did pull out some nice specimens of Rhodo before the existing drifts collapsed. Other than that, I know random folks have picked through( ahhhem) the dump-ite finding some badly oxidized rhodo, etc

I actually joined this site recently in hopes of finding folks who had knowledge of the area or were interested in learning more and possibly collecting on our land (with our approval)

MikeyBrew, I will send you a private message with more info.

Good afternoon,
I read your post about possiblyletting people prospect dig/pick through some tailings on your land and look for some rhodo. I know it's been a couple of years since your post, but I was looking for a place to take my twin boys and mom to find some "fun" flashy rocks and it's been very frustrating trying to find anything that's open to the public and not absolutely picked clean. We don't require big paydays, we're just looking to teach the boys about the cool stuff the earth makes, to respect the land in general, and have a fun day and picnic outside. Is this something that you guys are allowing on your property?
If so, I'd love to get in contact with you about when would be convenient. We're trying to do it in the next couple of weeks before they have to go back to school.
Thanks so much for your time,
Coury Langley
