We provide rockhounds, future rockhounds and treasure hunters, mine run gravel from the Sapphire mines of Montana, and Benitoite mine run ore gravel and specimens from the one and only Benitoite Gem Mine in San Benito County California. The Benitoite Gem Mine, now called the California State Gem Mine, was featured on the Travel Channel's television show "The best places to find Cash and Treasures".

We also offer rough and faceted gemstones from around the world, as well as home mining supplies to help you discover that beautiful treasure.

In these times with fuel and travel costs soaring higher each day, we bring the ability to mine for these rare gems and specimens, right to your home! No gimmicks, no tricks, no "High-grading", just gravel direct from the mines for you to search. A true treasure hunt for all to enjoy. If you cannot get to the mines to dig, then this is the next best thing! We have many, extremely satisfied customers.

PARTY, PARTY, PARTY!  Add a treasure hunt to any party or event!

With both hosted and self-hosted party options available to our customers, you're sure to find an option that suits your needs, whether it be for a birthday party, social gathering or a club event.
