Foggy Mountain Gem Mine

Foggy Mountain Gem Mine: Dig for Rubies & Take Home Rocks

Skip the pre-packaged tourist kits and shovel your own dirt to find real local sapphires and rubies. It sounds like a total gimmick, but spending two hours at the sluice actually yields legit gems if you pay attention. Go on a weekday morning to beat the school groups. Wear clothes you don't mind getting covered in red mud. It is a messy, low-stakes afternoon that honestly beats paying store prices for souvenir rocks.
