Gilbert Pit, better known as Ore-Be-Gone is located just east of Gilbert, MN. You can take the Gilbert exit at Eveleth, MN or Hwy 135 east to Aurora, MN. Once in town you will make a turn on Wisconsin St. going east. The road will take you right into the pit arriving at the public beach and boat ramp. There is no charge and there is ample parking. Just before the pit there is Sherwood Forest Camp Grounds,which has camp sites and RV hookups. There is a slight fee for over night camping. For those that don't want to camp there are motels with in five miles of Gilbert. Ore-Be-Gone is an old abandon mine that has filled up with water. Its depths do exceed the recreational limits for diving and does offer diving for the well trained Technical Diver. It is over 400 feet deep. For all divers it does offer a variety of dive sites. Out in front of the beach there is a wall that starts at about nine feet of water, you will find a lot of fish hanging out. As you move west there are piles of rocks that host many different size fish. Further west you enter a bay that people dive off of the cliffs. There we have found money, jewelry, and an occasional bike or two.  From the boat land you can go north for about two hundred fifty feet and you will come upon a sheer wall that starts in about ten feet of water and goes down to about sixty feet then drops off gradual into the depths of the pit. Here you will find lots of different size fish along the wall and back in the many cracks. We recommend you have a dive light so that you can look back into the cracks. Visibility run anywhere from 5 feet to as good as sixty plus feet. A lot depends on the weather. Temperature can get as warm as 70 degrees above the thermalcline which sets up around twenty-eight feet in mid summer to a chilling 45 degrees with depth.
