Gem Panning

On October 12th, we went gem panning at Castle McCulloch with the Millard family. We all had such a great time! The weather was beautiful and it was the perfect day to get out and do some activities outside.
After learning of the different prices of buckets we could choose from, we chose to do one $10 gem bucket and one $10 fossil bucket. We started with the gem bucket and I was amazed at what came out of there for $10!! Huge chunks of amethyst, pirates gold, aquamarine, rose quartz, crystal quartz, citrine, etc. Beautiful! Although Brendan is stoked about finding a shark's tooth, the fossil bucket was less appealing. A cool experience, but we would definitely stick to the gems in the future!
