It’s tedious getting through the largest bucket but we had a lot of fun and the crew was very knowledgeable. They took time to show us about what we found and were very courteous.

Expensive in my opinion. But the kids were able to share a bucket. Its Interesting, that they will educate you on what you find and offer jewelry making services.

It was totally fun! We found some beautiful gems. I found an emerald, and it's being made into a necklace. The stone in the picture is a raw ruby. Definitely going back!!!
