Beautifully landscaped with natural stone sculptures, bamboo and large trees you will easily forget that you are in the busy town of cary!

Prices start at $10 and go up to $115.

Our best selling bag is our $18 Gemstone bag, it contains a pound (sometimes more) of gemstones, bags can be split between two people if you’d like.

We have a heated, enclosed sluice available (due to covid we can only have two families in the heated room at a time) as well as our two covered large outdoor sluices for panning.

We offer a mobile sluice perfect for parties at your house, field trips, school PTA events, church events and more.

Children and adults of all ages are invited to pan with us, we are here to help you get started panning and help in identifying all the treasures you find, weather it's your first time panning or you are an expert we are always here to help!

There is no age limit on fun!
