    Great quick stop for the kids to have fun and take away a souvenir or a bag of souvenirs, reasonably priced. Will visit again for a larger bucket

    Found a clear quartz on this visit and it was exactly what he wanted to find this day

    My kids love this place! The wonderful people there have been awesome every visit we made and that's been a few. Buckets range from size and type of goods you want to mine $15+. We always get the deluxe bucket for our two boys to share and they always leave with at least two sandwich bags full of gems and stones. The mining is done outdoors which actually isn't too bad on warmer days. During the winter they have a "tarp" (not sure the technical term) that they roll down with windows so it keeps the cold and wind out while still allowing lots of sunlight. A great experience for the whole family. Have returned and will keep on returning.

    This place was really fun for the young and the old. Each bucket contained the coolest surprises and it wasn't messy at all. You could sit comfortably and sift through your bucket of treasures. Staff was very nice and answered any questions about what you uncovered. Inside there were gorgeous rings, earrings, brackets, pendants to purchase - as well as loose gems and stones. All really reasonable.

    My daughter and I stopped by here one rainy, chilly March day. We were kind of worried because we were the only ones there. But we picked our buckets and started "mining" for gems. Basically you pick which kind of gems/stones you want. They give them to you mixed in a bucket of sand, you scoop the sand into a sifter and place it into the water and viola your gems are there! We got a lot of beautiful gems. And we didn't have to get super dirty doing it. Lol overall we were pleased. Owners were nice. They will help you to identify your finds if you'd like. Would definitely do this again

    Great experience all around. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and accommodating with our kids. Thoroughly enjoyed everything about our experience, and will return.

    You'll probably pass at least 4 gem mining places on the way here but I promise Outpost is the best!!! Came here from out of town and the two gentlemen working took such great care of my boyfriend and I who had never gem mined! Such a fun activity and 100% recommend buying a large geode or two! We got two prospectors pick buckets and one small gem bucket. So much fun run by amazing people!

    $65 bucket

    Awesome for kids and adults, we had a lot of fun and we got the $65 bucket. We will be back!

    Now this, is solid gold!

    Who doesn't like digging in the sand for gems? I know the sand is pre-stocked, so it's not quite like doing it on your own out in the wild, but it's still pretty fun to get wet and se what is hiding in the bucket. The kids had a blast sharing a big deluxe bucket, and we walked away with bags and bags of gems that will probably end up all over the house and under foot, but they're happy, so I'm happy. There were several sizes of buckets to choose from based on what you were hoping to find in the bucket, and some even included fossils if you're in to that sort of thing. It's a great way to kill some time with the kids and even dig around yourself if you're in the mood to search for some gold!

    Awesome. When I was a kid you got a bucket of sand with some small gems in it. Maybe we got lucky, but my kid got around twenty large gems (2") in one bucket. Also, the atmosphere is great with dirt floor, closed in with heat. Employees are super nice, helped me distract my kid while I snuck in an extra big fools gold.

    Sorting through gems.
    Karen Z.

    This was the perfect activity for my 12yo and 7yo boys. They split a large gem bucket and found many "rare" gems. The workers were super friendly and knowledgeable sitting there while the boys sorted all their finds and telling them about the stones, even with some cool tricks! I highly recommend!

    This is an older review of a couple of months, but I was perusing my photo album and I stumpled…read moreupon these pictures of this lovely shop. The cottage is located in a selection of specialized shops, it's a short drive outside of Helen (Georgia). The owner of the shop was the one to great us upon arrival and they gave us a tour of the interior and the small farm adjoining the shop. Before this shop I thought I hated lavender, I was dead wrong. The smell was herbal and floral- sweet not overwhelming. The selection of goods featured many items harvested fresh from the garden or hand dried. Even though it was a specialized ship the prices felt comfortable, with a lot of items available for under 20 dollars. The owners shear enthusiasm for their work made me happy and comfortable to be a patron.

    "L is for the smell of lavender..." you know that song? Well you'll be singing it after a visit to…read moreThe Lavender Cottage and Garden! This adorable little shop has everything lavender you can think of: neck pillows, essential oils, satchels, even sugar cookies and soda! Who could ask for more? The shop owner is so, so friendly and will answer any questions that you may have. My favorite thing to buy here is the Lavendin essential oil. It is the most potent and relaxing smelling (sorry about all the infinitive use lol) oil that I've purchased anywhere. The owner said the lavendin oil is stronger smelling than the lavender oil. In addition to the lavender goods, this cottage also sells clothes, the cutest baby things, and jewelry. And there are chickens in the garden area so don't forget to go say hi to them. Just remember to watch your fingers ;)
