About this claim
Members have reported that the Hill Annex Mine State Park Fossil Site is primarily a visual prospecting area, focusing on fossil hunting rather than traditional gold prospecting. The site, an old iron ore mine, features a deep pit now filled with water, and while some have explored stockpiles for fossils, finds can be sporadic. Visitors have noted the presence of Lake Superior agates in the area, although gold prospecting is not prominent, with some members mentioning success in panning for flour gold further north. Access may involve navigating rough terrain, and past observations have indicated that conditions can vary.
