Field Trips & Fossicking
If you love adventure and want to try your luck hunting for treasure there are options available at Minerama.
Beginners: There are daily fossicking lessons for beginners, children and families who are interested in learning a few tricks of the trade. Lessons are available for a gold coin donation at the Minerama site. During the lesson you can find gems such as crystals, topaz, grass stone and jelly bean crystals.
