EVERYONE’S INVITED
The Ultimate Gold Mining Experience:
Dirt Party at Oconee Camp is built for people who want more than a quick outing. This is a hands-on common dig on proven gold-bearing ground where everyone gets involved, everyone plays a role, and everyone shares in the excitement. From moving paydirt to running material and helping with cleanups, this is the kind of event where the action never stops, and the gold keeps the energy high. With only 75 participant spaces available, this event will move fast.

This Dirt Party is not a spectator event. Everyone gets in on the digging, classifying, feeding material, watching recovery, and celebrating the cleanups as they happen. By the end of the day, you are not just watching the gold come in — you are part of the team that made it happen.

· 3+ days of common dig action.
· All registered participants receive a share of the gold recovered.
· Hands-on roles throughout the operation.
· Frequent cleanups so you see the gold as it comes in.
· A fun, social atmosphere built around teamwork and shared success.
· Enjoy life at LDMA’s historic Oconee Camp, a true back woods mining outpost in the South Carolina gold country.
