Dodge City has hit the mother lode. Settlers have moved in from all areas of the world trying to make it big. You too could be one to hit the mother lode.
Purchase a bag of mining rough, and make your way to the water sluice to discover sodalite, carnelian agate, rose quarts, 
adventurine, crystal quartz, jasper, hermatite and more totaling eighteen different kinds of tumbled stones. The mining sluice is a series of troughs leading from a water-filled wooden tower. As the water runs through the troughs, just empty our buckets of mining "rough" into the sifting trays and let the water wash away the dirt, revealing polished stones. It's like panning for gold - plus you get to pocket whatever you find! After discovering your stones, use the identification charts to accurately identify exactly what you have found. Buckets of rough mix are $5 for your enjoyment.
Kids of all ages enjoy the Tweite's Pumpkin Patch Gem Mining Adventure and take home a special souvenir of their visit.
