    I lived in NC for ten years i used to find all kinds of giant rubies when i was a teenager. The property we owned was full of them. Had i known what i was digging up and playing with i would probably have a nice savings account.😂😂 Most of what i found got sold in a storage auction. Could not afford the bills after becoming homeless 😢

    The creek is where you stand a chance of finding gems. Just keep in mind that it is salted like the buckets for sale at the sluices. Fun for the kids, but not serious rockhounds.

    • @worcestershirey
      @worcestershirey 2 года назад

      There's a spot up river where it's salted specifically for educational groups, but the rest of it is natural, save for some crystals that naturally get washed down over time from the educational area

      @thepurplebead 2 года назад

      They are open seasonally, if I remember. The creek feels amazing on a hot summer day. Bring swimwear, especially water shoes or better yet neoprene boots so your feet can stay a bit warmer in the really cold water. We were shaded enough that we didn’t need sunscreen. Highly recommend bug spray though. This is a great place to find stuff. The harder you work, the more you find. I found an amazing sapphire and emerald on our first trip.

    • @DiggingOutdoors
      @DiggingOutdoors 2 года назад

      Seeded means that the land owners toss in previously collected rocks and minerals to increase your chances of going home with something nice. Sometimes they are native varieties, but they don't have to be. It also keeps the place from being "picked out". I don't mind seeded locations as long as they don't try to hide the fact that it is seeded.
