4 Cool Reasons to Go Mining on Your Next Date Night

If you are heading out on your first date or you have been married for the past twenty years, it is time to do something different. For many, a simple dinner and a movie is enough to say that you did something, but will it really create the memorable experience that you are really looking to have? Instead of just going for the standard date, try something different—like mining! Here are a few reasons why mining may be the best date experience you have ever had.

1- Learn New Skills

Very few people are expert miners with all the right material processing tools. This is an experience where the two of you can both learn new skills and about a new subject matter. There are plenty of mining groups that are led by an expert, where you can ask questions and be guided through the process. You never know; you may find a new hobby that is fun and enriching while learning about the earth’s geology at the same time. 

2- Get Outdoors

Instead of spending hours dressing up for a moonlight walk in the park, head out on an afternoon to the great outdoors, and be prepared to get dirty. This will take a lot of pressure off the attempt to look perfect at all times, as you will get to uncover who the other person really is. Covered in dirt and sweat, you can skip the pretentious casualties and head for an afternoon in the fresh air, getting your hands dirty. Plus, you can mine close together, working in the same area, or you can trek further apart and have a friendly competition.

3- You Never Know What You Will Discover

There are many cool places to mine all over the world, and sometimes they are right in your local town. Not everyone is going to discover gold and diamonds, but you may uncover some rare gems and rock formations that will make the experience memorable. Chances are, you will end up walking away with a cool souvenir that you can always treasure to remember this date by. 

4- An Experience You Won’t Forget

Be unique. If you are looking to impress your date, do something outside of the norm. There are few people who can say that their first date was going to mine with a chisel in hand. Not only will this create captivating conversation for those who ask, but it may also inspire a whole new style of date nights to come. This doesn't have to be a hobby that you spend a lot of time and money on, but it can create an experience that will be set apart from the rest.

There is nothing boring about asking your date to go mining on a Saturday afternoon. In fact, you may just create a memory that lasts a lifetime. Anyone can forget what the tenth movie was that you saw. However, most people will not forget the extraordinary time you went searching for gemstones and scored the timeless piece that still remains on your mantel years later.
