Okay, here's the setup. You sit on these benches at a trough sort of thing that has water flowing through it. You purchase a bucket of sand (yes, that's right!), usually about $5 or $6 a bucket (sometimes you can do a deal like 5 for $20 or something). You have these screens, and you just start dumping handfuls of the sand into the screen. You dunk the screen into the trough, which washes all the sand away, and then you dig through the remaining rocks and look for gemstones.
It's really a lot of fun!
Has anyone ever been panning for gold? We've done that too. That's also a lot of fun, but ruby mining is so much better.
