  OUR STORY  

Dog Rock Enterprises was founded in 2015, by Josh and Sarah Bohmker. Josh started mining with his dad at three years old. 

As a life long miner, he now teaches others how to prospect and mine, from gold pans to metal detectors. 

​

Josh and Sarah are both active board members of Waldo Mining District, helping to lead the way for Oregon Mining Rights. 

Waldo Mining District is leading the way for Oregon preserving mining for generations to come by holding back state regulatory overreach. 

​

Sarah Bohmker also sits on the Minerals Advisory Committee for Josephine County, Oregon and has traveled to Washington DC on behalf of the mining rights of Oregonians and beyond.

 

Josh and Sarah are very active in promoting and preserving mining as a federally granted mining rights that goes back to 1872, one of the last granted rights US citizens have left.
