Our Buckets
Gem mining at Foggy Mountain Gem Mine is a unique and truly rewarding experience.
Our experienced staff will help you choose from an array of different sized buckets and explain how to use our custom designed water filled flumes to search for gems. They will also assist you in identifying what you find. Families can enjoy the opportunity to learn about precious gemstones, where those stones are found in the world and how we specialize in turning the stones into finished gems to be treasured for a lifetime.
Our choice of buckets allows you to find the appropriately sized bucket for your group size and budget. For an affordable, fun and educational adventure for all ages, be sure to visit us at either of our locations during your next trip to the Boone High Country.
