We had an awesome time here yesterday. Having tried to break rock in the past it was so much fun to have material for us to sift. Price is very fair. They work hard and employ local kids. We got a great black tourmaline specimen as well as a great beryl. We will be back. They know their rocks and gems and are glad to share that with you. Though small, we got some beautiful green tourmaline and watermelon in situ.

I was unsure of what to expect. Upon showing up I saw tables where you can sift through the rocks and an information booth and some kids digging. I asked a staff at the booth/desk, what their options were and she told me about them all, we …

We visited Dig Maine Gems for the first time this past Thursday and loved it! The staff were really friendly, tables were clean, prices reasonable, and the overhead tents kept us dry during the rain! We bought two of the World Traveler …

We went on a Sunday. Went up to Mt. Mica and spent the day digging. Found lots of small things. Too expensive in my opinion for the experience. Better off buying a bucket.

We offer 15, 25, 50 and 100 dollar buckets of material at our "site" in Bryant Pond/Woodstock. We offer field trips to the Mt. Mica mine every Sunday for $65 per adult and $35 per child under 16 y/o. Kids under 7 y/o generally are not allowed for safety reasons. Reservations are only required by camps, schools or other group oriented organizations. Thank you, and please visit our website for more info at: http://digmainegems.com - DMG Staff
They are open until snow falls
Our hours change with the seasons and heavily depend on the time of year, so we recommend checking the main page of our website (www.digmainegems.com) as that will always have our correct and up to date hours. As for bucket prices we offer a $15 "Dig Your Own" bucket from our Mt. Mica pile, and also $25, $50 and $100 pre-filled "Specialty" buckets with extra goodies in them.
Though we dont have much of an online store (yet! It is still in the works but should be up and running soon) you can still purchase dirt from us! Just give Jody a call at 207 890-9753 for info on dirt. Other rock shops in our area that you can visit include Creaser Jewelers in South Paris, and the Mineral Collector in Bryant Pond. Also the Maine Mineral and Gem museum in Bethel is now open to the public, however there is a $15 fee to enter. It is definitely worth it though!
you buy a bucket that you can dig and fill yourself. Or you can buy a prefilled bucket .We did both. Tons of fun.
It is for all ages
Yes, we are pet friendly!
You pay by the bucket unless you go on one of their site excursions on Sunday. One bucket can easily take you a couple hours to go through so I am sure you can do as many as you want to pay for and as often as you want.
We are open weekends until the snow falls or it becomes too cold.
We are open for our regular hours on the 4th!
