Gold Mine

The Cave Mine is a room that was first opened during the Cave Expedition as a room for everyone. However, after the expedition was over, the entrance was blocked by a rock slide. It later reopened to become a permanent room for members and non members to celebrate the new game, Puffle Rescue. There are no games in this room, besides the fact that you can earn coins by digging.

Dig For Coins
You can use a Hard Hat, Snow Shovel or Miners Helmet to dig up coins, by dancing. You get more coins when the lights are not on. The current known maximum amount of coins is 100 coins.

Appearance
A large pit is located in the center of the room, where penguins can dig for coins that are hidden (Amethysts that made up the Amethyst Pin in the Cave Expedition) if they have a Hard Hat or a Snow Shovel. During the reopening there were also free Hard Hats given away. The Hard Hats are now under the stairs. You have to walk up to the construction hat and drill to receive a free hard hat.

In the middle of the upper side of the room there is a snowball-powered generator that lights up the room, if penguins do not throw snowballs at it then the lights will go off and the room will turn dark. If you go to the left of the Cave Mine near the waterfall there is a entrance to the Hidden Lake.

Trivia

 * Many missing puffles (E.g. Yarr, Keeper of the Boiler Room, Keeper of the Stage,etc;) were released through the construction and stayed in this room. They were later recovered but more Puffles were still lost, so the game Puffle Rescue was made to help rescue the lost Puffles. The Cave is now kept open for good.
 * It is possible to find one hundred coins in a single spot. But there are few digging spots that give one hundred coins.
 * It is rumored that you find less coins when the lights are dim. This is in fact true because if you have the lights full you get 1 coin, 3 bulbs 2 coins, 2 bulbs 5 coins, 1 bulb 10 coins and no lights 100 coins. And somehow you can also get 50 coins.
 * Since it is opened permanently, the Miners helmets are available forever.
 * It is thought that the desk in the bottom right corner of the mine, is the desk shown in the sneak peak of Mission 11.
 * Nobody knows why the Cave Mine was built.
 * It was maybe built by Herbert.
 * Somehow the tour still describes Cave Mine as Mine Cave.
 * The Spy Phone did not display this room.
 * The new EPF Spy Phone does, however.
