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.

Hi mikeybrew, I realize this post is from a while back, but it's worth a shot anyway! I am a young prospector looking to go on some hunts around Colorado and then hopefully the country and the world someday. I am looking for any contact info for the sweet home mine area. I would willing to put in some work for the property owners for a chance to look around. Again I am still young and somewhat new to crystal hunting so any help or advice would be appreciated greatly.
PeaceNathaniel
