Each party will receive a Sluiceboy "Lucky Bag" in place of a regular bag, containing extra gemstones and a free Break Your Own Geode! To opt-out of the "Lucky Bag," simply message us at checkout.
When shipped, you will simply have to put the kits together. We will try to have as much assembled as possible.
You Will Need:
- A container with water (Kiddie-pools work great for everyone to do it together).
- Have everyone fill their sieves, one scoop at a time, then screen in the water to rinse the paydirt, exposing the gems! They can then identify their gemstones with our Gemstone Identification Chart!
- Everyone can take home their gemstones in their "Goody Bag," along with the sieve, shovel, and gem chart for future treasure hunting!
Additional Information:
- This activity can last anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 hour. Screening small amounts at a time helps to prevent missing any small gems!
- People of all ages love watching the beautiful gems as they are uncovered! Great way to spark kids' interests!
- Some gems may contain sharp edges. Please use caution when screening. Raw material from creeks and rivers, although cleaned with a magnet and triple-checked, has the potential to contain items such as foreign objects, metals, glass, fishing weights, organic matter, etc.
