Details:
This is a fee pay mine where you can purchase a bucket to screen through. I'm not certain if the "ruby and sapphire" and "emerald" dirt comes from them or if they get it from a nearby mine. They also have "salted" buckets which probably turns off a rockhound purist but is likely fun to screen nonetheless. You can find more details on their website:
