The Mississippi Museum of Natural Science in Jackson has added a sparkling new attraction — the LeFleur’s Mining Company Gem Sluice. This outdoor, hands-on experience lets visitors pan for gems and fossils just like real prospectors or paleontologists.
The sluice is a permanent feature on the museum grounds in LeFleur’s Bluff State Park and can be added to regular museum admission. Choose from three discovery options: $7.99 for gems, $11.99 for fossils, or $29.99 for a mix, plus tax. Whatever you find, you get to take home!…
