ABOUT THE ARMADILLO MINING SHOP
Bob and Lesa Barton opened the store in 1984, based on the belief there was a need for a well-stocked retail mining supply store with the goal of helping miners buy what they need. They accomplished that goal by building a store with a reputation unequalled in the industry. In April of 2006, Lesa was diagnosed with cancer and soon after we purchased the store to allow Bob and Lesa to spend her remaining time together. Lesa passed away on September 6, 2006 and will never be forgotten. Filling Bob and Lesa's shoes is not easy. Having over twenty years of various mining experience in both placer and hard rock mining has helped though. Having spent several years "dredging for a living" helps us understand the pitfalls that fellow miners may encounter. We strive to offer good advice on buying the right equipment for each customer's needs and budget whether it is a complete gold dredging setup or parts for the "Do-It-Yourselfer". We are the experts in Gold Dredging, Gold Prospectors, Gold Pans. If you have questions about any of our products or which ones are right for you, please feel free to call us. If you find yourself in Grants Pass, Oregon, stop by the Armadillo Mining Shop to see our gold nugget display.

ABOUT OUR ORDER AND SHIPPING POLICY
We will soon have our website "overhauled" with a new shopping cart. Please bear with us in the mean time as the quoted shipping costs are not always accurate. We will confirm your order by phone after it is placed. We will check stock and if there is anything we do not have we will inform you. We make every attempt to keep prices on this site current, but we are only human and occasionally make errors. You will be informed of any price corrections upon confirmation. Most orders are shipped via UPS. When your order is received we will be able to figure your actual shipping charges and will inform you of the exact charges when we confirm your order. We will also verify your payment method at that time.
