No sharing rules here—feel free to share any bucket with your family!
The colored buckets are the kid or what we call minor buckets, and then $25, $50, $75, and our $100 party at the mine. And what we tell people is the bigger the bucket, the bigger the pieces, and of course, the more of 'em. And you can share any bucket—the mines around here say "no sharing," and we think that's a silly rule.
It is a guaranteed find every time. The guarantee is on the corundum and the beryl. The corundum is your ruby and sapphire; the beryl is your emerald and aquamarine. They're guaranteed in every bucket, but you're gonna find agates and jaspers and crystals—a little bit of everything.
The guarantee is on the corundum and the beryl, but it's also on the bucket. If you did a bucket and you're not happy with the rocks you find, leave the rocks and pay nothing. We're the only mine in North Carolina that does that, and that's what keeps us highly star-rated.
