dukes creek gold & ruby mines印象

5 minutes with a sand and rock filled bucket can be entertaining but if you want to see a real mine and experience what mining may actually be like this is not it. Pick your bucket and wash off the sand. That's it...

Not so great. They were out of gold buckets. You don't really learn to pan. Your just given the bucket and pan. You can screen for gems as well.

Though it's a kids' activity, we were excited to do it. Got a small bucket of gems and got dirty finding them. Great stones, the apache tear was the most interesting probably. Don't expect to find a nice restroom though, fyi

We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon. The prices seemed pretty good, and the teenagers had fun sifting for stones. We had done the same thing during a vacation to North Carolina. The stones they were finding here were MUCH larger than the stones they found in NC. And there was a variety in each bucket. The kids did the mixed gem bucket and both had a large haul to take home. I chose the sapphire and ruby bucket and found a mix of gems. Duke was there and was friendly, but not overly. He was willing to answer questions, and came around once to see what the kids were getting, but he didn't hover. The cats were friendly as well. The kids wanted to go back and try their hand at the gold panning, but we didn't get a chance. I would recommend this as something to do to fill in an afternoon or morning.

fun and addictive, Del is very helpful and funny, we panned for gold and gems and were not disappointed

This was a recommendation by the hotel staff and the kids loved it. We got a $20 bucket filled with little treasures throughout. Our girls still take out their colorful rocks and crystals and admire them and the fun they had "panning" for them.

We went here at the recommendation of the motel owner and the man gave us a discount and showed us how to pan for gold. Then he also spent some time checking out some gems we had that we didn't know what they were. He helped us figure them out and label them too. Nice way to spend a couple of hours

We stopped buy and bought the gem bucket. Left with both hands full of large gems from just one bucket.

Got some neat gemstones and got to cool off for a bit. Just outside Helen so not too crowded, Beautiful artwork in the shop, lovely staff!
