A group of friends went on a motorcycle ride from Greenville, SC to Dahlonega, Ga so we could pan for gold and look for gemstones. We did find some gold and though it was not much, it was fun. The gemstones were more plentiful in our buckets of sand. Only one thing that would have made this much better would... More

This is the best field trip I have ever taken students on! I arranged for about 160 people to visit Crisson Gold Mine and another attraction in the Dahlonega area. We were split up into three groups with about 53 people in each group. Crisson took the students, teachers and parents through the tour. They split the 53 people into... More

I was surprise at the attention that was given to my grandson. He... More

I stopped in here because I heard they sale a lot of equipment for prospecting. And that they do. From pans to dredges to metal detectors. The staff was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We did not partake in any of the activities they offer for being limited on time. That's the reason I gave a low mark on the... More
