Dig For Different Types Of Authentic Gemstones At Dig Maine Gems In Maine

Remember how fun it was when we were kids, digging for buried treasure? We would dig in a sandbox or in the dirt, searching for hidden gems. We'd imagine that every rock we found was a magnificent and rare gemstone. Relive some of those happy childhood memories when you go digging for gems in Maine. Bring the whole family to Dig Maine Gems for a one-of-a-kind adventure.

Dig Maine Gems in West Paris makes it easy to dig for genuine gems, from amethyst to rose quartz. You never know what you'll dig up.

You won't have to travel deep underground to mine for gems. Instead, Dig Maine Gems brings gems to its site, where you can sift through mounds of dirt.

Before you head to the dig site, however, make sure you're dressed for the weather. You probably want to wear shoes you don't mind getting dirty and, if it's recently rained, muddy.

If you're visiting during the warmer months, lather up with the bug spray, and bring some along. It can get quite buggy outside.

Your adventure starts by choosing a bucket that you'll fill with gems extracted from a tourmaline mine.

As you dig, you can easily rinse off the gems you've found and see if you can identify them.

The family-friendly attraction even welcomes dogs, as long as your pooch remains on a leash at all times.

You might even want to bring a picnic lunch along. Dig Maine Gems also sells a variety of drinks, too.
