A little history can be found at this link as well as a notice that you must get a permit to mine here from Tony's Rock Shop (911 Kelly Rd, Magdalena, NM 87825) in Magdalena: http://socorro-history.org/HISTORY/Mines/pg_003.htm

From http://cashandtreasures.wikifoundry.com/page/New+Mexico, "Handy to bring along:
1. Collecting bucket
2. Hand tools
3.
Rock hammer"
From http://cashandtreasures.wikifoundry.com/page/New+Mexico, "How to get there:
Take I-25 South from Albuquerque to Socorro. Then HWY 60 west 26 miles. Turn at Kelly Road and go 3.2 miles South".  However it seems best to try Tony's Rock Shop:
"Address: 911 Kelly Rd, Magdalena, NM 87825
