About this claim
Emerald Hollow Mine, a pay-to-dig venue in Hiddenite, NC, offers visitors the chance to prospect for gems in a variety of settings, including a pit, creek, and sluice. Members have reported enjoying all three methods, with many finding both native and salted gems, which are intentionally added to enhance the experience without extensive mining. The site is open daily from 8:30 AM until sunset, with an admission fee of $25 per person. Some past visitors have noted issues with litter, but overall, many appreciate the friendly staff and the educational opportunities available for families.
