Excavation Dig Kit - Real Emerald & Gemstone Mining Activity for Kids & Rock Hounds - Crystal Discovery Set with Authentic Mineral Specimens

My 11 year old has been a rock hound since he started walking. He loves finding cool rocks, gemstones and fossils! We've gotten the cheaper gemstone kits from Walmart, and he had fun with them for about 20 minutes. This kit came with so much sand, he was able to do a little bit here and there, and it lasted almost a month!! He got 2 huge geodes, lots of cool rocks and gems, and tons of fossils and shark teeth! My son LOVED this kit so much- he finished it tonight and asked us to hide some of the rocks in the sand so he could do it again and said "it's infinite fun!" 😂 I highly recommend this for anyone who loves panning & rocks! ☺️

Used for 8 yr. old son’s bday, with a 5 yr. old, 9 yr. old and 12-yr. old present as well. Great to have experience outside in driveway instead of booking in mountains. All liked, though 12 yr. is especially understanding boy, to be fair, 9 yr. girl didn’t keep all of hers but seemed to enjoy going through it with her mom, the younger ones were thrilled. (Especially the 5 yr. girl, who made constant exclamations or delighted surprise.) birthday boy loved, too. One note is that parents helped pour right amount and even sifting for 5-yr., and all kids were kind of caught up separately, though there were shouts on especially interesting finds and showing parents, the kids themselves were so focused on their own. It was fine, but that’s just how it went.Contents:It’s a small bag of sand, with tons of chunks of ‘gems’ as you pour it out, you kind of don’t need to sift a whole lot bc it’s mostly uncovered but it’s fun if you pour a little at a time, it still takes a bit. Great for us for easily 30 minutes, then we let them rinse trays with the hose and left it outside to dry.There are also tons upon tons of teeth, which are not identified in the otherwise nice chart. Most gems are easy to tell, as differences between amethyst and pyrite is obvious, and many are pretty large. I think each kit had an arrowhead - definitely the most exciting, and pieces of geodes. Each kit comes with a nice red plastic sifting tray, a bag of sand about the size of a small bag of sugar (3 lbs?), a chart in plastic ziplock, and a nice pull string bag (have marker handy bc there is place to write their names) for each.

My daughter and I found some incredible pieces in this mining kit! It was so much fun and well worth the cost! One of the geode crystals piece we found is beautiful and definitely one of our instant favorites! Beyond that we found dozens of fossils, shark teeth and a few arrow heads which made my daughters day! I highly recommend this kit for adults and kids everywhere!!!

The media could not be loaded.  Did this for my son’s birthday. Recommend you put it in a bag of sand because there are so many. Great kit because there’s some very large ones as well. We also got a ton of shark teeth not really sure, but there was a lot.

I love the rocks are beautiful, the only thing is that we got more teeth then rocks, but even though my daughter love the experience of looking for the rocks..

Came with alot more than expected definitely worth the money

My 9 year old grandson was as excited about this as I think I have ever seen. The contents were varied and generous. He and his sister now say they are going to ask for a bag for Christmas and birthday. Thank you so much.

This is a fantastic fun item for kids and adults.

My grandson thought these were terrific and exactly what he wanted.

Loads of large rocks and fossils were in this mining kit. My children absolutely loved trying to identify each rock.
