Gold Panning & Gem Sluicing
The first recorded instances of panning or placer mining come from ancient Rome,
where gold and other precious metals were extracted from streams and mountainsides using sluices and panning.
Sluice
The Gem Sluicing Experience – what we are most famous for!
Spend as much time as you like with our Long Tom Sluice Box. The water traverses down from large granite boulders to our giant walnut tree. Select whatever size gem pail or bag to buy, and our guides will help you use the sluice! You keep all the gems you discover! Many guests purchase the medium or larger gem pails and split the treasures. Feeling adventurous? Ask about our rocker boxes – a little more work but a great piece of history.
This activity is great for all ages.
