Details:
This is another fee-pay mine which let's you search through their buckets of dirt for gemstones like rubies, sapphires, garnets, topaz, emeralds, and colored quartz varieties. This probably isn't a great place for rockhound purists who want to dig their own dirt, but should be a fun place for kids. Find out more at their website:

Directions: It's on 441 South going away from Franklin and Route 64 about 1/2 mile after the Macon County Community Center on the left. Check the attached map.
