Give your students a hands-on-experience of mining for real gem stones and fossils just like the miners did during the early days when they mined for gold and minerals. Students will see a demonstration and hear about the Old West Mining and the need for sluicing. Each child will receive their own bag of “mining rough” containing gems or fool’s gold. A chart is furnished so that the student can take the treasures home and identify the gems, fossils, and minerals.

– FREE for Teachers/Paid Staff & Children Under 2 (with group)
