Th..."e $30 each seemed a little high, but it was for the whole day and you get constant help and attention the whole time you are there. We came after a storm and apparently a cluster was exposed as there were 5 "bell ringers" (over 10 carats) and lots of other large sizes found. The four of us ended up with over 58 carats total weight (mostly really small, but one 4.25 carat and an 8.65 carat). Brandon, Charlie and Ben can spot them quickly after all their years of experience and are really thorough in helping you spot them in your tray. After a couple of hours you start seeing any of decent size on your own, but its always good to let them look over what you might have missed. ... " More >
• Rose Creek Mine
  "go here"
  "informative, fun, and so, so messy. we had a GREAT time panning, and searching for stones. i dug my own and found a few great items, but if you want to make sure you are finding a lot, get a salted bucket. it is worth every penny. "
• Rose Creek Mine
  "Great, kid-friendly fun"
  "We took our two year old and four year old sons to Rose Creek, and they had so much fun! The staff was very helpful. The price was reasonable. I love the way they sort your rocks at the end and put them in labeled bags according to their type. "
