Mineral World & Scratch Patch

Hunt for gemstones in an outdoor garden, and they're free! OK, you have to buy the bag, but whatever you fit in that bag, you keep! There are amethysts, tigereye, agates, lapis and lots of others. They claim "over 75 gem varieties." You can also pan for real gold (and keep what you find).
