I purchased this bucket as a gift for my niece. I'd previously purchased one from a different seller, but this one was far better quality. We had so much fun digging everything out of the bucket together this morning. She's excited to learn about the many different rocks and fossils.
S
Super fun and exactly as advertised. Absolutely will purchase again.

Very happy with my purchases! My kids loved it!

My daughter and I LOVED digging through this bucket! This was worth every cent— it was packed with beautiful items! Shipping was fast and came intact. Highly recommend!

My son bought this with his own money because he LOVES fossils, rocks, arrowheads, etc. This is his review:
Hello! My name is Luke. I am 9 years old. This was the best kit I’ve ever gone through! And I’ve gone through many dig kits. The arrowheads were perfect. The geode was HUGE….bigger than my whole hand. The shark teeth are in great condition. And everything else was amazing! Thank you for putting such great things in this kit!

The product was a gift for my son and it did not disappoint. He is a huge rock and fossil lover and he loves finding them himself. I am getting one for my mother for her birthday since she liked his gift so much.
S
Thrilled! Exceeded expectations!!! Love it

My son loved this gallon bucket. We had fun sifting through it and finding and then categorizing all the items found inside. Highly recommend for your fossil and gem enthusiast. Also acts as a great sensory tool. I put a trash back inside a shallow box and poured the bucket into the box. We found that easier and less messy.
M
Loved doing this with my son!
J
If you love crystals and rock hounding and have a child who likes to steal your cooler stuff, this is awesome! Especially if you’re trying to teach them about it in the process. I would 100% buy this again and my 3 year old granddaughter said it’s sooo cool! (Supervised by me obviously)
A
I got this for my 22 year old son for christmas. You may think this is a silly gift for an adult, but this was so much fun for all of us. My son, his partner, and I sat on the kitchen floor this morning and dug for treasures! We had an absolute blast. I would absolutely buy this again for anyone who's a fan of crystals, fossils, or rocks.
E
The bucket was as described. I can’t wait till Christmas morning when I can open this and search for treasures with my son. Only issue would be packaging. The box had a giant rip down the side and I wish the boxes would’ve been more sturdy.
b
Loved the whole idea. Shipping was a little rough it popped open one top. Mail person was great told me boxed had leaked the sand.
A
I loved the items received, although UPS banged up the package a little bit. BUT, I do acknowledge that it is UPS’s is at fault for the state of the package, and the seller is NOT at fault or responsible. Anyway, everything arrived intact and on time. 10-10 service, would recommend ^^
N
alot of gems and some fossils and 2 shark teeth , this good if ur starting out or for my grandkids, but still happy , ty
E
only issue I had was I wasn't expecting the tumbled pieces to be so small, they pose a choking hazard but otherwise absolutely amazing!
J
The minerals and fossils were much bigger specimens than I had expected. The quality is very good and the quantity makes it worth while. My only complaint was my geode being just basically a chunk of quartz none of the whole break in half and reveal a pretty inside, the inside was just a chunk of quartz. Other than that I loved this order, it was worth it for sure and if I am able to in the future I’d definitely buy again
M
Purchased this a gift for my nephews and they loved it. They were so excited to see all the different rocks and fossils hidden in the layers of sand.
M
I got gallon fossil bucket as a gift for my husband's birthday. He loved it. We were pleasantly surprised at just how packed it was with awesome rocks and fossils! Was definitely worth the price.
J
My 7-year old nephew had the BEST time with this! Kept him busy for so long and he was amazed with each find. Thank you!

I couldn't believe how many great things were in the bucket. My kids are going to have a blast!

I got this for my nephew for Christmas and he loved it. Needless to say I will absolutely but from here again!
