Rental is inexpensive. I'd recommend water shoes and lots of baggies for your treasures. Creek is shady so its refreshing on s hot day.
Bug spray definitely. Also prepare to get wet so a change of clothes.
They charge you a rental fee to use their shovel (plastic) and shaker box . Unless you bring your own. No metal shovels.
there are two tools that come with the river mining package: a wooden and metal screen (sifter thing) and a shovel. That is all you need :)
Plastic hand shovel and a sifter/strainer no metal. They actually provide them for you with a small charge.
