How does gem panning work? Purchase a bag of mining rough, take it to our running water trough, then add the mix slowly to the screened wooden box – shake and separate the dirt from the gems, fossils, and/or arrowheads. Mining rough comes in a variety of bag sizes and prices starting at $6. Mining rough is available offseason even when the trough is closed so you can take it home or give it as a gift. Gem panning is closed during the Winter season.
