Spotlight on: Dells Mining Company

This year, Dells Mining Company is celebrating 25 years in Wisconsin Dells. Children and adults of all ages can experience this hands-on mining adventure! When you mine your own bucket of sand and gems at Dells Mining Company, it’s guaranteed you’ll take home precious gems, originating in the the mine fields of North Carolina. You will find some treasures, such as a shiny ruby, vibrant emerald, sapphire, blue topaz, and many more gems all mined by you!

Here’s how it works:

  1. Take a seat on the bench along the river-like trough.
  2. Pick out which size bucket you would like. The smaller buckets include small pieces of precious stone and gems, and the larger buckets include larger jewels! 
  3. After you empty your bucket of gem rich soil into the pan, start sifting! Watch in excitement as you discover beautiful, vibrant gems.
  4. When you’re all finished, take your gems over to the expert in the gift shop and they will explain to you what you’ve collected.
  5. You then have the option to take all of your gems home with you or have them cut and polished into beautiful jewelry. At Dells Mining Company, you can choose from 14k gold or sterling silver settings and have a ring or necklace made from the gems you have found!

Located both on Wisconsin Dells Parkway by Noah’s Ark Waterpark, and in Downtown Wisconsin Dells across from the Glockenspiel, Dells Mining Company is open daily and offers an educating experience for the whole family!
