Ready for a real treasure hunt? Adventure starts in our gift shop, where guests purchase a bag of Gem Mining Rough — (rough material not included with farm admission).
Once you’ve got your bag in hand, head to our mining sluice and grab a real gold pan and screen, just like the old-time prospectors used. Splash, sift, and dig your way through the rough material as the water washes away the sand and dirt to reveal what’s hidden inside.
Every bag is packed with genuine treasures, including sparkling gemstones, fool’s gold, fossils, and even shark teeth. Whatever you uncover is yours to keep and bring home as a one-of-a-kind souvenir of your visit.
Whether you’re 5 or 95, there’s something magical about striking it lucky in the sluice. It’s a hands-on, water-splashing, treasure-hunting adventure the whole family will want to do again and again. Just remember: pick up your Gem Mining Rough bag in the gift shop first — that’s where the adventure begins!
