Are you guaranteed to fine something in every bucket?

Samantha Carroll, there is something guaranteed in the enriched buckets. With the native buckets, there's no guarantees, but I've always found a few really nice sapphires, and a few weeks ago, got a very large Sapphire with gorgeous color and a large ruby, that you can see a bit of color, and it's a deep, clear, bright red. Some of the most beautiful garnets have come from Rose Creek. Cowee is a great place too. I've been going to Franklin over 15 years and Rose Creek and Cowee are the best. Honest, good people, who are helpful, very knowledgeable. At Rose Creek in the super buckets, there's also a plastic packet that has at least one cut negative, ready for mounting. You can have them mounted into jewelry anywhere. On my last visit I got a set of trillium cut, heart shaped peridot that will make great earrings. My other bucket had a gorgeous tear drop shape citrine (6 carats), & matching round Citrine crystals for earrings. Each of those retail for $100, which equalled bucket pric

We found some stuff there but we had better luck at the Cowee gift shop and mason mountain mine

I know i have. If you dont find something you may have very well passed over it, not recognizing what it was, especially with a sapphire. Use the water at the flume and some sunshine to see the screen contents sparkle back at you.

Some buckets have more than others. But you do fill your own buckets

I don't think so but most people do get something

My husband and I were there last summer numerous times and always had something in bucket. The higher priced buckets with native stones were well worth the price!
