- Stamp mills, a construction used to separate gold from stone, which were employed for crushing rocks.
- These were once powered by animals and later by water.

The museum is open for visits from Monday to Friday between 8 AM and 2 PM, and group visits of at least five people are conducted with a guide. Larger groups of over 20 people can also make reservations for Saturdays and Sundays.
