    I went gem mining in Boone for $14.99 bucket and it had a 3.2 carat emerald in it. I had to go to 5 jewelers before I found one that could cut a rock that big. Estimated value $900

    $2500 for a seeded 55 gallon barrel? I certainly don't begrudge them the fun and experience for them and the kids. It seems everyone had a great time.

    For those concerned about the money….perhaps the family was OFFERED the opportunity to record a video by the gem mine business for a substantially lower cost or perhaps even for free considering the amount of advertising the gem mine would receive from views.

      @SmokyMountainFamily  10 месяцев назад +4

      That’s how most, if not all the gem mines in the area do it. They buy from distributors and fill their buckets. Notice all the buckets in the area are filled with sand rather than dirt. Thanks as always!

    • @scottwolak6520
      @scottwolak6520 10 месяцев назад +2

      They buy these crystals, fossils and rocks from mines and other places around the world, these buckets are referred to as a salted bucket. In this case the Pigeon Forge Gem Mine already knows what's in the bucket and it's value because they put these buckets together.

      They are valued well beyond what you pay. Rock shop owners are the people that typically buy these for the resell value

      That's incorrect. We also live here. The gem mine invited us to come do a video to feature their new $2.500 barrel. At the time this video was released the new $2500 barrel had only been available a couple weeks.

    @Rikkitikki-fr7hk 10 месяцев назад +2

    Ok....Im trying to be objective here. What is the end game here? What do you do with the rocks that you bought? I mean after all, you DID buy them. I cant see spending that much money on rocks unless you are going to make jewelry out of them or sell them. Im sure it was fun and all of that, but you could spend a lot less and still enjoy your family time. I mean lets face it, your average vacationer couldnt afford that. But I did watch the whole video so that will put a little change in your pocket.

    • @fashionphazeboutique
      @fashionphazeboutique 10 месяцев назад

      I agree. Seems like such a waste of money for such little reward. But that's the climate we live in. It surprises me to see shark teeth in the same Barrell along with many of the rocks. This is a Barrell of runoff buckets they didn't sell. Shame on Pigeon Forge Gem Mine...
