The Legend of
Picky's Prospecting
Store
New announcement coming soon.
About a 1 hour drive from Las Vegas, deep in the Gold Basin of White Hills, Arizona — where the desert hides 1000s of prospecting sites — a legend was born, known as the one armed prospector named Picky. Visit our prospecting museum and learn how the Legend of One-Armed Picky led to Prospectors Danny & Jeff becoming two of the most successful gold prospectors in White Hills today. Explore our Flat Earth Museum and discover the legend for yourself. Two museums. One unforgettable destination.
The Tale Begins
Out Where the Maps Run Out
They say Gold Basin was the kind of place where fortunes were made and men went missing. Nestled in the rugged White Hills of Mohave County, just a spit from the ghost town of White Hills, this stretch of Arizona desert has seen more tall tales than a frontier saloon on payday.
That's where Picky's Prospecting Store planted its flag. Part prospecting outfitter, part museum, part monument to the stubborn belief that the earth is as flat as the horizon — and just as worth exploring.
Come for the gold. Stay for the museums. Leave with a new understanding of the shape of the world.
"The most remarkable prospecting destination this side of the apparent flat horizon."
— White Hills Ghost Town Review, Vol. 1
