If you're looking to go mining, then look no further! Mason's Mine is amazing! It's true mining! You get to go up and dig up your own dirt and then bring it down to the sluices. You get to pan your very own sapphires (and rubies if you're lucky!)! If it's your first time or even if you're not sure what you're doing, the staff is extremely knowledgeable and are able to help you every step of the way. They were all very personable and all around good people to spend the day with. You always hear about "southern hospitality" and this place is no exception. From the moment we walked in I felt like I had known them for years and we were best friends seeing each other again. They even have set up a special VIP dig site for special needs and wheelchair restricted individuals. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Al, Judy, DJ, Charlie aka Yoda, and Ardell, you all were wonderful! Thank you so much for an amazing and unforgettable vacation! I will be back every chance I can get!
