Step into an early 1930s style treasure hunters camp at the Lost Treasure Mining Company at Dark Woods Adventure Park. A nearly 100 foot rustic, hand-built wooden running water mining sluice that pays homage to and is reminiscent of an Indiana Jones era base camp and excavation, was opened in summer 2020.

As you experience this authentic “adventurers” camp, you can pan for genuine gemstones, minerals, fossils and even arrowheads, enjoy the lush outdoor setting, and talk with our friendly treasure expedition guides as they assist you in the hunt. Our authentic sluice has levels to accommodate every age group, no matter the size!

Entertainment is in the 1930s style, too. Enjoy top 100 popular and jazz hits of the early pre-WW2 America. You might even catch yourself singing along with a few old-time favorites!

Rediscover the fun of a low-tech, unplugged, family-centered outdoor adventure that embodies the classic old time explorers, adventurers and treasure hunters of the early 20th century at Dark Woods’ Lost Treasure Mining Company!
