Welcome to North Bend Prospectors, Inc., a family-oriented small miner's non-profit 501 C (3) corporation dedicated to the enjoyable, relaxing, and potentially profitable activities of rock hounding, metal detecting, gold prospecting and mineral hunting. Please look around our website and make yourself at home.
 
* Are you looking for a relaxing way to enjoy your leisure time? Well, Prospecting is not always relaxing, but enjoyable!  

* Do you enjoy the outdoors?
* Ever thought about trying your hand at gold, rock or mineral prospecting?
* Does creating new friendships and gathering with others who have the same interest as you sound appealing?
* Is sitting around a campfire during an evening with others after enjoying a scrumptious potluck meal sharing your days' mining experiences sound like something you'd like?
* How about the chance to win a nice gold nugget with the raffle tickets you're holding?

You've come to the right place! "But I've never tried prospecting before..." or "Not all my family members are interested in prospecting...". Not a problem. We have folks who have prospected for years who are more than happy to show you how. Whether you have a gold pan and want to know how "it works" or you've just bought a dredge and need some instruction on how to use it, we at NBPI are there to help. For those family members not really interested in prospecting but enjoy the outdoors there other activities available during our outings such as cooking, hiking, fishing or just taking a nice snooze in the shade of a nice-smelling pine tree.
