Pisgah Forest Gem Mine is located in Pisgah Forest, NC, 1/2 mile from the National Forest Entrance.

We have rich mining material from local mines and mines from Brazil, Madagascar, Morocco and more! Check out our website, www.pfgems.com for complete pricing.

Mining can be an hour activity or an all day adventure. Pick the bucket that is right for your family and dive in. Ages 2 and up have a blast. If your little ones get a little distracted, we have a sandbox and other kids games right there by the sluice so that you can keep an eye on them while you sift for treasure.

We are open year round with both INDOOR and OUTDOOR mining. We have a free picnic area by the river and great family games like cornhole and tictactoe for you to enjoy.

Come by and check us out. Family fun is our specialty.
