We always love stopping at this place when we go to Pigeon Forge….its become a tradition. But we go for the lesser buckets around $30-60 dollars and still get ALOT of great gems and fossils.
It gives kids the experience they will always remember
What a beautiful family! Nice documentation. 👍
Awesome haul, looked like a whole lotta fun, thanx for taking us along.
We had a great time
$2500 for a seeded 55 gallon barrel? I certainly don't begrudge them the fun and experience for them and the kids. It seems everyone had a great time.
Your kids will always remember the fun adventures. Thanks for sharing
This so cool!!! I love it ❤
I went gem mining in Boone for $14.99 bucket and it had a 3.2 carat emerald in it. I had to go to 5 jewelers before I found one that could cut a rock that big. Estimated value $900
Nice haul….y’all are gonna have an awesome rock garden😊….thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching we appreciate you
Wow! Those were some beautiful finds!! Would like to see what you all do with all of those rocks.
Hey guys, long time followers, Bill and Julie here. We are in town for the next week or so, would love to meet you guys. Our girls love watching your girls.

Star. Don't know where you live, but look into Calvert Cliffs in Southern Maryland. You would probably enjoy the Marine Museum.
Hey SMF - Karen here. Thank you so much for the opportunity to be in your video. We had so much fun!!!
Hey!!! Thanks so much for all the help! Literally couldn’t have done it without you
Keep up the great videos, love the old gem mine . Personally if ya got the money to buy the barrel good for ya and have fun. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
❤️
Awesome video great family time ❤️ all the years I have come never done the gem mine but that’s about to change 😂 just fun to see what you find.
We love it! The girls especially love it during Halloween and get the Halloween bucket
The big bertha bucket of gem mining! Glad the girls got a good pretzel and cheese break, they deserved it! That is lot's of work lol. If y'all do a give away we will take the 100 dollar gift certificate to Sawyers hahaha. This was a awesome guys
😂 ❤️
Very cool alot of work but fun for a few people
Definitely for a few people that’s for sure 😂 ❤️ thanks for watching
Great video guys. Went there last time we were in pigeon forge. Had a lot of fun and found some cool stuff. Yall stay safe out there
Thanks so much for watching we appreciate you
Wow! What a HAUL!
That it was! Thanks so much for watching we appreciate you
My family love this place.
Same!! They are great, thanks so much for watching we appreciate you
this is a great review thank you very much
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed
My son wants to do it now 😅 Super neat to watch!
We love the Halloween bucket they have around that time of year!
One of the things I love and remember about my grandpa was his appreciation of rocks. We collected, polished and decorated with rocks big and small! So many memories of rock shops in Gatlinburg. I bet you both remember the one on the end of the parkway by the Riverhouse.
Aww that’s so sweet!!! Love memories like this. Thanks so much for watching we appreciate you
My parents took me & my little brother to these places all the time when we were little.
We live close to Pigeon Forge, so we were down there very often.
We played a TON of putt-putt & did a lot of gem mining lol.
Ok. Next year’s vacation, go to the William Holland School of Lapidary Arts in Young Harris Georgia and you can take classes to learn how to cut those stones into jewelry.
SMF!!! I have "never, ever" done the gem mine before ... never have done a gem mine anywhere! Another great video featuring the whole family ... priceless! Question ... what will you do with all the gems/stones/fossils/arrowheads, etc., that you mined?
Hello y’all. The Gatlinburg Hussey sent me🎉🎉🎉
Hey there thanks so much
WOW..............................
😂 ❤️
What a great family project
Good video, your was having to much fun, the girls were having lots of fun too 😊
They were! Thanks so much for watching
that looked like fun and work but the girls got some great looking stones
Definitely some fun and work there Dennis 😂
We went there today we got the $60 bucket. It was fun all of y’all should go sometime.
Love the video
Thanks so much glad you enjoyed
You all rock! 😂 Seriously that was really cool. Your going to have to start a rock garden.
😂 ❤️ thanks for watching
This video rocks.
Heyyyy Elizabeth here! Still can’t believe I got in this video
Hey!!!’ Thanks so much for all your help we couldn’t have done it without you
that was an amazing haul
Might as well went to the mine in Arkansas
that was awesome. I did not know they did anything like that. What in the world will you do with all those rocks now? That’s pretty need to get all the gift certificates . Thanks for sharing three interesting.
Thanks for watching we appreciate you
now this is something i want to do
For those concerned about the money….perhaps the family was OFFERED the opportunity to record a video by the gem mine business for a substantially lower cost or perhaps even for free considering the amount of advertising the gem mine would receive from views.
There it is
Looks like a lot of planted stuff. A shark tooth in the mountains?
That’s how most, if not all the gem mines in the area do it. They buy from distributors and fill their buckets. Notice all the buckets in the area are filled with sand rather than dirt. Thanks as always!
You know how there’s Bears Meets Food with eating challenges? Y’all did the equivalent with the gem mining challenge! 😂 very cool and very fun! I think a family reunion or large group ciuld go in and do that and split the $ and have a great day! Fun video! You’re gonna get 1M hits with this one!
I assume they’d let ya do that…. Just a thought.
Glad you had fun. Good looking finds. Love that Jaycee got the tooth. Those arrow heads were beautiful. Btw, did the price include a forklift to load your finds into the Jeep? ;)
😂 ❤️
Yup that's a Meg tooth
Must. Go. Now. 😆
Lots of fun
It was Kim! Thanks so much for watching
Where does this store dig all this stuff up from? What area?
They buy these crystals, fossils and rocks from mines and other places around the world, these buckets are referred to as a salted bucket. In this case the Pigeon Forge Gem Mine already knows what's in the bucket and it's value because they put these buckets together.
Would love name of the song playing at intro ... thanks for sharing your gem experience...we have talked of doing this when we visit so this is inspiring .😊
Were does the mine company get these different gems from
Curious what you did will all those gems?!! Some really nice ones.
It looked like so much fun, we just got back from spending 5 nights in pigeon forge
Hope you had a great trip!
So cool!!
Thanks so much for watching we appreciate you
Ridiculous price to pay
U actually paid 2500$! Wow. That’s a lot Fun though I love rocks
Brittany I am just curious what your wrist tattoo”s say ??
I’m would think they don’t sell many of the $2500 buckets 😮 ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO SMF !
I have a lot around my wrist… I will do a vlog talking about them as soon as I get caught up on vlogs 😂 it would be a lot to type
@@SmokyMountainFamily can’t wait !
Would like to see a part 2: what these “gems” are worth video..
They are valued well beyond what you pay. Rock shop owners are the people that typically buy these for the resell value
Love the surprise of what you find here. I bet that’s the most you’ve ever paid to work so hard!😂Did you have any jewelry made from any of the stones? Loved this guys! Looks like you all had a great time and involving subscribers was so sweet of y’all! Thanks for another great, entertaining video!
Anyone else saw the places TikTok and Came watch the video
Not worth 2500 dollars. Hope y'all really didn't pay that much.
They didn’t I love down there it’s 1k
And it says in the back it’s 750 must be cheaper then but a,so they have no idea about all the crystals idk why they bought
That's incorrect. We also live here. The gem mine invited us to come do a video to feature their new $2.500 barrel. At the time this video was released the new $2500 barrel had only been available a couple weeks.
It's literally 100 dollars in rocks. For 2500 you could have spent all day out west at the real gem show and got museum specimens. Rather that worthless items stuffed in sand. That amethyst cluster is 20 bux max at any roadside stand...
I dont understand why people are so worried about how yall spend your money that you both work very hard for!!! Yall keep doing yall!!!!
Thanks guys ❤️
I don’t understand why you toss around shells and arrowheads like they have no value. You dropped a huge rock on some perfectly beautiful shells.
Nothing was broken at the end of our haul.
Does that mean you paid $2500. For these rocks?
Yes they are idiots why not go on a cruise or go to Disney or something but I guess he needs those rocks for his head, the gift certificates I can buy myself, this is just stupid
Who’s here from tik tok
LOL
Does your wife have “Right” and “left” tattooed on her wrist?😂
Ok....Im trying to be objective here. What is the end game here? What do you do with the rocks that you bought? I mean after all, you DID buy them. I cant see spending that much money on rocks unless you are going to make jewelry out of them or sell them. Im sure it was fun and all of that, but you could spend a lot less and still enjoy your family time. I mean lets face it, your average vacationer couldnt afford that. But I did watch the whole video so that will put a little change in your pocket.
I agree. Seems like such a waste of money for such little reward. But that's the climate we live in. It surprises me to see shark teeth in the same Barrell along with many of the rocks. This is a Barrell of runoff buckets they didn't sell. Shame on Pigeon Forge Gem Mine...
If u payed that ur on something anything for views just be honest man
Thanks again!
@@SmokyMountainFamily pleasure is all mine
Please stop doing CZcams see this is why yankee and the south is a better channel real talk just being honest because there being there self
We appreciate your input. Thanks for watching!
If you don't like it, don't watch... Stop the hate and focus on your videos.... smh
YITS are grifters
Never been on this channel before, but this was so much cringe. Many families have a $2,500 budget for their vacation.
