Frequently Asked Questions
Is gemstone mining available year round?
Yes
We actually have two sluices. If it’s too cold outside, we’ll use our indoor one.
Do we get to keep what we find?
Absolutely.
Finders. Keepers. Your discoveries are 100% yours to take home.
Can my two children share one bag?
Sure.
Dump half the bag in one sifter and the remainder in another. No promise the treasure will be split evenly.
What if it is raining?
Open Rain or Shine
We have two sluices available. If weather conditions are not favorable outdoors, we’ll use our indoor sluice.
