Come and mine some gems or fossils at the Frontier Mining Company. After purchasing a bag of mining rough at Pappy’s Mine Shack, make your way to the Frontier Company’s mining sluice to discover garnets, rose quartz, fool’s gold, rubies, emeralds and many other beautiful stones. All the treasures are yours to take home.

This is a wonderful educational opportunity to learn what the 49′ers might have experienced in the Gold Rush, as well as some of the knowledge they had to posses about gem-stones. You may just learn that all that glitters is not gold.
