5.00Seriously it was one of the best experience at Gem Mining Bucket. I was there with my girl. she really enjoy the activity It was all fun and the staff there was also good. If you are visitng pigeon forge then there are many things that you should not avoid and i swear gem mining is one of them. I heard there staff hires different companies for different tasks like one for cleaning sometimes or other things also. It was a good experience
Aquamarine is such a beautiful color!

5.00They treat you like they know you! It was an awesome experience from walking in, it wasn’t busy, so they placed us near the heat(Nov), we panned our bucket of sand & rocks, to where we had our Aquarium, my husbands birthstone, they sent off to be cut and mounted in a silver pendant and earrings! We had the most fun. Also purchased a bucket of rocks for our Grandson. Thank you
