The Montezuma Royston mine is 26 miles outside of Tonopah\, 5 miles of dirt roads and Easter Blue is 30 miles outside of Tonopah\, 12 miles of dirt roads. \n\n\n\n Please bring a 5 gallon plastic bucket (these are sturdy enough for the heavy materials and seem to stay put while you are digging reducing the chances of your turquoise toppling down the side of the hill)\, hand rake and hand pick/hammer for each person.\n\n\n\nAlso\, if you’d like\, hand pump sprayers or spray bottles for water will help you see the turquoise easier as you dig through the tailings. Keep in mind that you will be supplying your own water. \n\n\n\n Our tour begins at 8:00 am\, meeting your tour guides\, in the front parking area of the giggle springs gas station 182 N. Main Street Tonopah Nevada 89049.
