Mine train ride to the Susquehanna Mining Company
While digging up the ancient stream beds to provide
you with ore for this seasons gem stone panning we came across many
different kinds of fossils! Little did we know that New Jersey is
rich with many different varieties of fossils. When visiting the mine ask
to purchase the fossil mix and explore our ancient past!

Gemstone Panning is a
great activity for all ages. Participants may find up to 11
ounces of gemstones in a single bag which may include amethyst, rubies,
rose
quartz, emeralds, crystals, and an arrowhead. All gems are of high
quality and
may be suitable for cutting, polishing, and mounting. With
every mine train ticker you will receive one bag of mining ore
from the Ole' Susquehanna Mine.
Upon arriving at the mine site your guide will tell you the story of
Sylas Smith and how he found the mine and about his tragic death which
left the mind uncovered until this very year!
Next you will walk over the the Ole' Susquehanna mines operating sluice
and learn how to pan for gem stones. once you understand how to pan give
it a try and see if you can find some gems!
