Stopped in to look at the crystals and mine A bucket of gems with my family it was a really good experience. There are goats chickens and other animals on the property as well as a cool maze for the kids to use. We had a fun stop and will definitely go back again the prices are fair and the staff is very nice and helpful.

My wife and I are on vacation and stopped on a whim. We had a blast! Sean and the two other employees were friendly, helpful and engaging. The buckets contained plenty of stones and this 70 year old did not expect to have so much fun playing in a sluice! We are going back today to do even more!

We spent $165 for a huge tub and found so much fun soothing for rocks and gems. We found several big geodes. Cute gift shop had so much to offer. Cute joy pond inside. There was a cute playground outside and a lil petting farm goat peakcock pheasant and chickens

5-star fun in Hendersonville NC! Get the green value bucket vice individual buckets. One adult can scoop into the panning trays and keep 3 kids entertained for 30-45 minutes. Tons of “gems” from the family size bucket. 5-star, friendly staff. We’ll visit again in our next visit.

we bought the tub and got a big bucket of great finds to take home. my mother in law had many of the stones cut and polished. the rubies we took home and fired in a kiln and they changed from purple to pink. very cool finds, sapphires, emeralds, rubies, amethyst, Citrine, and some amazingly beautiful stones that I can't pronounce 😁

Open all year long! It is one of my favorite places to go. I've been going for years and it's really beneficial to all age groups. Good prices for the experience too!

I believe their smallest bucket was in the $12-15 range. They also have a variety of specialty buckets and larger buckets that have different price ranges.

Are dogs welcome?

Katherine Marting | Jul 2, 2020

I would think that they do not want pets inside due to the gift shop is tight quarters with a lot of intricate items. They may make an exception for well mannered service dogs, I would call to confirm.
