Lucky Lake Gem Mine

Postby buccaneer » Sun Jul 22, 2007 9:33 pm

Ladygarnet and I went to check out this new gem mine today. Did not spend any money, just looking it over and getting some imformation. They say that they hope to be supplying good native pay dirt from 35 foot deep by this fall and hope to allow you to dig your own dirt from the open pit. I like there set up, two nice flooms that are under roof with picnic tables spotted around in shaded areas. Seam to be real nice folks.

If that turns out to be so it will be a real shame. We have been looking forward to working this new spot.

me and my wife live right down the road from the mine we went over there last weekend shared a 35 dollar bucket found alot of different crystals and rubys and emeralds other rocks pretty good variety we thought it was alot of fun for 35 bucks when your done they tell you what every thing is that you found plus they will cut the stone if you want them cut i think it was around 60 bucks to get them cut . good place to check out. as far as digging for your self i think they are still working on that
