Gold Mountain Mining Is A Champion ‘Buckle Builder’ And An Established, Fourth Generation Western Business.

Working with Montana Silversmiths since 1978, Gold Mountain Mining sells more custom trophy belt buckles for Montana Silversmiths than any retailer in all 25 countries in which Montana Silversmiths has outlets. Gold Mountain Mining’s prices are always ‘rock bottom’ prices right out of the chute ~ 15% to 39% off, year round.

I had the good fortune to talk to Greg Baskin, Bucklemaster, the other day, whose great grandfather started the family business back in the 1920’s. He is very passionate about his business, and extremely customer service oriented. My big takeaway was learning more about Gold Mountain Mining’s “Buckle Builder.” They have made it very easy to design your own custom buckle (your Cowboy or Cowgirl business card!), or your custom event, commemorative, and/or award buckles, right on line. Try the “Buckle Builder” here.

Here is some of their work!

Gold Mountain Mining even has commemorative items for my dream vacation ~ the National Finals Rodeo.
