Amethysts, Gold and other Gemstones can be mined by the public at the Gold’n Gem Grubbing mine in Georgia. For a fee of $15 for a half day or $25 for the full day the treasure hunter can mine just like the ole timers did. All tools needed for treasure hunting is provided by the mine operators. You can dig the ore from the commercial mining pit which has been piled at the edge of the creek by dump trucks. Fill up a couple of buckets and take your finds to the creek for panning and screening.
