Finds from Gold N' Gem Grubbin Mine in Cleveland, Ga. - As Seen on TV (lol)
So the family and I took a trip up to the Gold N' Gem Grubbin Mine in Cleveland, Ga. today as made famous by the TV show Cash & Treasures (unsolicated plug - lol). We had a great time and can't wait to go back. We only live 1.5 hours away so I know we will be back soon! We did some gem grubbin and panning for gold. We thoroughly enjoyed our day together. Just watching the excitement in my kids face and hearing them yell, "Dad I found another diamond" made the trip priceless! My 9 year old son and 6 year old son had the most fun. Our 17 month old daughter threw rocks and chased the two dogs that were on the property . . . so she had fun as well!
I was asked to share my results so here you go. These are pictures of the gems/minerals we found in our bucket. This was the most fun of the day. We literally spent hours going through our bucket and had a blast doing it. I am no expert so if anyone sees anything they think might be worth getting looked at please let me know. I would like to have some of the pieces cut but don't want to waste time or money if nothing is worth the effort or money. Thanks for looking!!

). We did not pan in the river because my daughter is only 17 months and is quite the handful in the water. However, we did see several people at the river panning. They were finding gold there. What they do is dump loads of the dirt they get out of their mine on the shore of the creek so in essence no matter if you pan in the creek or up at the main building, you are going through the same ore material. But to answer your question, yes there is gold in the material they have. We met a gentleman that has been coming to the mine for years. He purchases the $130 bucket and takes his time going through it. He showed me two vials he had from his previous two trips and probably had a little over 1/2 ounce in each vial. We were directly across from him and he found one nice size little nugget while we were talking to him. So, I think it would be a great trip for you. I hope this helps . . . and Good Luck!
