Staffwoman was the absolute best! Very helpful and knowledgeable! She even helped me pick out some of my stones purchased from Temu that were real/fake. Overall great experience! Purchased several individual stones and a motherload mining bag, totally worth it! (Photos are of my mining bag haul) 20/10 absolutely recommend this place! Happy hunting!-Lanie (a very satisfied customer)??

It’s was a small store I decided to stop at on my way back from Tennessee and the prices where astronomically high I got a plate of fossilized orthoceras in Tennessee with about 10 on there for $25 and here the SAME SIZED ONE WAS $400 I also bought a mosasaurus tooth still in stone at the store in Tennessee for $15 here it was $10 for a fraction of the size the small crystal they had around the store where also way to over priced like $5 per stone and the geodes where also like $8 for a very small one I would not come back it’s way to expensive.

Great price on bags of dirt to gem mine. We always buy several motherload bags while there and bring back small bags to family as souvenirs. We visit this shop everytime and always walk away with so many large specimen gems. My daughter could sit for hours and mine. I also have several pieces of their jewelry that I absolutely adore.

Great fun mining your own gems. A treasure for a keepsake. Plus the store folks are so nice and pleasant.

The kids had a wonderful time. You buy bags of sand, there are different sizes/contents, and the sift them in a trough with running water. Then, bag up your treasures. You get an info card with pictures to help identify what you've found. Some of the specimens were small and not much of high quality but fun.

@Copperhead Creek Gem Mine in regards to your response, I did say something to the lady that was running the store that day because we bought two of the Motherload bags. We always do one there and take the other one home for another day of fun. The lady that was working said they come already packaged. That was it. No apology, no offer to make things right. So we haven’t been back since. I do appreciate your offer. If we go back I will be sure to show them the offer you wrote on here. Thank you.Update for 2022…The amount of gems/rocks and fossils you get have decreased drastically!!! Not even half of what it was when I originally wrote this review (we didn’t even fill up half a clear bag that they give you with the largest bag, including the big gem). Very disappointing, especially for the price.We had a blast mining for gems, there were so many in the bag!!! We bought three more bags to take home because it was such fun!! Fun for all ages! They even customizes stone boxes to your personal needs such as luck, money, love, etc. Great place and they have beautiful gifts of all prices!

My 9 year old son loves finding treasures in the motherload bag. Lots of fun doing this, and got fossils, gemstones, lots of nice items that he's really excited about. Great customer service and friendly staff.

My favorite place to visit in Nashville, IN! We drive from Indianapolis a couple of times each year. We always come to Copperhead Creek to shop for jewelry, then buy a bag of sand to mine for gems. Stay at least a couple of hours! This is a family owned business and they are great! You can tell this is their passion.

We went for the first time yesterday. We paid $8.99 for a small bag of dirt. My 8 year old son poured some dirt in a softer and put it in the water. He was delighted to find it was full of tiny rocks, some actually gems and minerals. He had fun. It only lasted about ten minutes, but he walked away with a baggie size bag filled with pretty rocks and gems that he had “mined” himself.

Amazing, Iris was so informative of the gems, and fossils. Our granddaughter loved sifting the sand looking for the prize. We all got necklaces and stones from their gift shop. And extra bags of gems to bring home for our Grandson to find his prize. He had a blast!

LOVED this shop!! They have so many neat and interesting rocks/gems in here! I got my granddaughter a heart-shaped piece of petrified wood - came with a little stand...so adorable. Plus got a few more little things. The lady running it was super nice and answered our questions. I believe she and her husband have the Iris Garden cottages. We didn't realize the cottages existed so we were looking around and the owner came out and offered us to look at one of the units....SO ADORABLE! Will try to stay there next time we visit!
