Copperhead Creek Gem Mine

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!

We had a lot of fun. Got some beautiful gems and fossils. The store was very reasonably priced. We are definitely going back!!

The mining was fun...but there wasn't much as far as rocks go. About .5 of sm plastic bag from 2 lg and 2 sm. Disappointing
