Or go it on your own and purchase a Gem bag  which may contain an assortment of gold, iron pyrite (fools gold), topaz, tiger eye, hematite, quartz, rose quartz, amethyst crystals, agates, crystal points, fossil shark teeth and more.  Then carefully sluice or pan out the contents in as much or little time as like.  Surprises by the bag!  Great fun for all ages.

Julian after-hours Campfire Party:  Bring your group for a late afternoon/evening event and take a tractor-drawn hayride, throw tomahawks, and try your hand at archery before dark.  Then stay late as the evening rolls around and cozy up to a warm oak-wood campfire to roast hot-dogs & marshmallows (bring your own) and enjoy a starlight sky.  Cost $15 per person for groups of 20 or more.  Groups of less than 20 can pay a flat fee of $250.  Well organized, respectable groups only.
