What Treasures Will You Find?

Choose a bag of ore—3-pound, 5-pound, or 10-pound—and head to the real sluice-box at Showcase of Citrus to sift through rock, sand and slurry until you uncover arrowheads, crystals, fossils, emeralds, shark teeth, shells, gems, and more. ID cards included ensure every find becomes a documented keepsake and sparks discussion about geology, history and nature in a way books cannot replicate.
