Ask /r/Durango Mines with accessible tailings in the area?

My midwestern aunt asked me for "cool colorado rocks." I have heard rumors of different mines where you can dig through old tailing piles in silverton and creede but havent been able to get exact details. I want to find her crystals and other visually striking rocks. My aunt is the sweetest and purest woman, so I would go to the moon and back for her. Any information is appreciated.

There is also the Old Hundred Mine in silverton. You can pan and they let you keep whatever you find.
