THE LUCKY STRIKE GOLD AND GEM MINE


WE ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ALL YEAR EXCEPT DEC 25.


WELCOME TO THE LUCKY STRIKE GOLD AND GEM MINE

   Welcome to the Lucky Strike, a gold and gem mine that also boasts a
campground, where we strive to provide our visitors with a memorable and
enjoyable outing. Step back in time to the days of old-fashioned gold mining by
taking a pan or sluice box into the stream. Popular methods of prospecting in
the river include gold panning, sluicing, and crevicing, which don't require any
complicated equipment. Spend the day outdoors with your family and friends,
sharing in the excitement of recreational gold mining. A full day of panning,
sluicing, or crevicing in the river will only set you back $5.00, and you're
welcome to keep all that you find! The thrill of seeing that first flake of gold
in your pan is like nothing else, and it's sure to give you a case of what the
old-timers called "gold fever." Be warned, though - once you see that first
glint of gold, you'll be hooked! At the Lucky Strike, we offer gold panning at
the flume line with local ore from the Second Broad River. When you need a break
from mining, head over to the Miners Diner, located next to the covered panning
area, and enjoy a delicious Bonanza burger or Klondike dog with a glass of
ice-cold sluice juice (tea). We hope that you enjoy your day with us, whether
you're mining for gold, playing in the river or relaxing at the Miner's Diner.


NC GOLD FOUNDATION/NORTH CAROLINA STATE PARK TRAILS.



   If you're looking to explore the great outdoors, we have the perfect activity
for you. These hiking trails are owned by the NC Gold Foundation and the North
Carolina State Park. The hiking trails are available for those wanting to enjoy
the beautiful great outdoors. Motorized vehicles are not allowed on these
properties. This picturesque 2 1/2 mile trail takes you through the historical
gold mines of Vein Mountain and over the mountain to the old historical mines of
Rhom Town. You'll cross Rhom Town Rd to the headwaters of the Second Broad
river, where you'll find the old historical Pea Vine railroad bed. Following the
Second Broad river, you'll cross Scrubgrass branch, and the trail will lead you
back to the Lucky Strike Gold and Gem Mine. To ensure the safety of all our
visitors, we ask that you sign in and out of the trail at the Lucky Strike so
that we can maintain accountability at the end of the day.
