Due to multiple issues beyond our control, we are operating at limited hours and reduced capacity this season. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

The 2023 Season for Gem Valley will be as follows:

  • The first day of the Season will be Friday, May 19th, 2023
  • Gem Mining is open Friday through Monday - 10 AM to 2 PM EST.
  • Bucket-of-Ore prices (for fluming) are as follows:
    • $10.00 Sampler Pail
    • $15.00 Kid's Pail (comes with take-home buckets and other cool goodies!
    • $25.00 Pail
    • $50.00 Pail
    • $100.00 Pail
    • $500.00 Barrel - **This must be requested in advance of your visit!**

  • The last day of the Season will be Sunday, October 15th, 2023
  • No new miners are permitted after 1:00PM.
  • Gem Valley is closed Tuesdays through Thursdays.
    • Due to staff limitations, we are not able to keep the shop and flumes open at the same time. This is the best compromise we can offer at this time.

We apologize for any inconveniences this will cause for our loyal customers, however this is the only way we can continue to be open for this season. Thank you for your understanding and your support!

We love you all and hope to continue to offer advice and support to all our fellow Rock Hounds!

Sincerely,
