Everything sounds good, however you can not dig in the creek banks. And take a little something for the friendly squirrel I had him eating cheeseits and M&Ms right out of my hand.
Yes to both questions. You can mine with pucks and shovels. They will send you to a designated area. Or you may want to go in the beautiful creek bed where you may also dig. Then there is the option of sleuthing. They have buckets ranging from $5 (childrens bucket) up to $1000 dollar buckets. You can also get a bucket that's guaranteed ti have precious stones in it. Mt friend girl bought a $50 bucket guaranteed emeralds. And boy did she clean up. Myself? Well I'm loaded with amethyst. I encourage you and all who read this to go and enjoy yourselves. I'm going back in a couple months myself. Two big 👍👍!
You can dig in the woods and or the creek. I don't remember specific prices but about 20$ a person I think. Then they also have preloaded buckets of dirt and gems from like 10$-up to 1000$ I think. It's a very awsome place.
There is a creek and I've pulled some pretty quartz out of it and they have an area that you can also dig in.
