GOLDRUSH TOURS has been operating in the niche market of recreational goldpanning trips since 1992. Formerly under the name of DANIDOR a small company specialized in the design, manufacturing and sale of gold nugget jewelry.
After working in a team of 3+ people, each participant usually takes home at least 1/2 ounce of self mined gold nuggets. The seasons of 2007, 2008 and 2009 were outstanding. Each participant took home 1 ounce of nuggets and flakes. Not bad at todays gold price!
