About Miners Depot
Miners Depot sits on Central Boulevard and is Quartzsite's dedicated prospecting store, the place nugget hunters go for machines, spare parts and local advice. It presents itself as a family business with a price match guarantee and is a full-line dealer for Minelab, Camel Mining Products, Falcon, Keene and Gold Cube, with Garrett and Fisher detectors on the shelves as well.
The stock covers both dry and wet prospecting: metal detectors and accessories, drywashers for the washes around town, dredges, sluices and highbankers for water, rock crushers, Gold Cube concentrators for fine gold, books, and paydirt for practice at home.
The store is wired into the local scene. Prospectors on the GPAA forum have long pointed newcomers to Blake Harmon at Miners Depot for advice on detectors and on joining a club, the Quartzsite Metal Detecting Club gives the store's number as the contact for its outings, and Miners Depot is one of the organizers of the Quartzsite Gold, Treasure and Craft Show, held in February 2026 at the QIA building. It has also run nugget hunts of its own.
