    This place was great! The owners were very friendly. The bucket was packed with rocks. My two young kids shared one and really enjoyed it. 25 bucks for a bucket was a good deal. Just know they only take cash or check.

    From Charlotte, and decided to take a Sunday drive. We have never been mining before, but will definitely do this again! We had a blast and Mr. George was GREAT! He helped us sort through all our dirt and told us what everything was and some great history behind all our treasures. Their gift shop is another amazing experience in itself.
