Mining Ore

The sizes and types of buckets have changed over the years.  The bags of years ago are gone.  We are asked why we have done away with he bags and the answer is easy, they all but stopped selling.  Most people when given the choice of a $7 bag for each person or splitting a bucket – the bucket won.  When we got down to less than a bag a week, they were just taking up room that could be used for different types of buckets.  Right now our lineup includes gemstone buckets priced at $15, $25, $50,  $100, $200, and $500.  The higher the price the more you get for you dollar and the larger the stones that can be found.  Our special buckets are Emerald, Ruby and Sapphire, Topaz and Aquamarine, Tourmaline, Citrine and Crystal Quartz and amethyst at $35 and our $75 Gem Collectors bucket - these buckets have a mix, but they have plenty of the special stone.  And new this year is our gemstone and fossil buckets – in three sizes – $35 , $50, $100.  We will be adding more buckets in the future – if you have any ideas or requests, let us know.
