Sulphur Springs’ First Mobile Gem & Fossil Mining Adventure Starts Here!
"Mining Memories That Last A Lifetime"
At The Sluicin’ Goose Mining Co. We turn ordinary events into hands-on treasure hunts packed with excitement! Our mobile gem and fossil mining setup brings real gemstones, ancient fossils, and one-of-a-kind finds right to your party or event—no digging required.
From birthday parties and school events to city festivals and church functions, kids light up as they pan through our mining rough and uncover sparkling surprises! It’s educational, exciting, and totally unique, something guests of all ages will be talking about long after the sluice runs dry.
Our setup is clean, rustic, and easy to run. We bring everything needed, from the mining station to the sand and rough, and even optional extras like hats, custom bags, and themed decor. Indoors or outdoors, we make it work, and we make it fun.
If you’re ready to add something unforgettable to your next event, book The Sluicin’ Goose Mining Co. and let the treasure hunt begin!

FAQ's
💡 It’s a hands-on experience where kids (and adults!) get a bag of mining rough filled with gems, fossils, or both. They use our professional sluice to sift through the sand, just like a real miner, and discover treasures hidden inside. All miners get to keep what they find!
💡 Yes, our mining station does require a standard electrical outlet to run the water pumps. If an outlet isn’t nearby, we can provide a generator for an additional fee.
💡 Each bag is pre-loaded with goodies! Depending on the bag, you might uncover crystals, polished gemstones, arrowheads, shark teeth, or real fossils. Every bag is different, and the finds are yours to keep.
💡 Yes! Mining is fun for kids and adults alike. Younger children love the discovery, and older kids enjoy identifying the stones and fossils. Adults usually end up just as excited as the kids when they strike “treasure.”
💡 Absolutely! We offer different bag sizes (Gem, Fossil, or Mixed) so you can mine as much as you’d like. Many families grab more than one so everyone can join in the fun.
💡 We can bring the fun just about anywhere! Popular setups include backyard parties, city festivals, daycares, churches, and schools. City and large events can be pay-to-play or set up as prepaid bulk bag options, which can include staffing or drop-off only depending on your needs.
