Unearth Cursed Artifacts at The Haunted Mine!

Legend says the old 1800s mine shaft has been silent for over a century… until now. Whispers, glowing lights, and mysterious treasures have surfaced in the running waters, and we need brave young explorers to help us pan for the truth!
 
Step through the fog-filled mine entrance and make your way to the Haunted Sluice. Grab a pouch of Spooky mining rough, pour it into your sifting box, and plunge it into the swirling waters. As the sand washes away, what will you discover? Glowing cryptid crystals? Ancient monster bones? Or rare, cursed relics hidden beneath the mud?
 
Once your treasures are washed clean, head over to the dusty Assay Office. Our resident Mine Assayer will help you identify your mysterious loot and bag up your spooky bounty to take home.
