Mining Collectibles at Deadwood Dicks

We still have a great selection of the unique Sand Casting Patterns from the Homestake Mining Company. These patterns are made from wood and were used to make a sand mold for casting at the Homestake Foundry. Highly skilled craftsmen meticulously made all the patterns for metal parts needed by the mine and its ancillary facilities. These pieces were purchased by Kevin Costner for décor enhancement at the Dunbar Resort and subsequently sold at auction. Each pattern comes with a certificate of authenticity with a copy of the auction bill on the back as shown here in the photos.

Included in our mining memorabilia, we carry miners lunch pails and helmets, gold pans, cap crimpers, carbide lamps, oil wick lamps, candlesticks and a wide variety of blasting cap tins. For the discerning collector, we also have Homestake Mining Company silver coins, books and pamphlets, mining watch fobs and belt buckles.
