The Hobby Miner Outlet Team

About Us

Welcome to Hobby Miner Outlet, where passion meets purpose for the everyday gold hobbyist and small-scale prospector. We're here for the weekend creek-walker, the backwoods panner, the sluice-running enthusiast, and the treasure-hunting heart that never outgrew curiosity.

Who We Are

Hobby Miner Outlet is a hobbyist miner–focused store dedicated to helping miners capture more gold efficiently, affordably, and reliably. We design and produce premium-quality mining tools and cleanup equipment, all proudly made in the USA.

We were founded by Ron Andrews and began operating in June 2024 as a part of H&H Concepts, a division within House & Home General Contracting Inc. While the parent company has decades of craftsmanship and design knowledge, Hobby Miner Outlet was born from a personal passion for prospection and improvement.

Our Purpose

To help hobbyist miners increase gold recovery using smarter tools and innovative designs.

Not all mining tools are built the same. Some are mass-produced overseas, some are built without practical field testing, and others are simply outdated.
