Gem Mining in Cherokee









After we left Bryson City on Saturday, we drove over to Cherokee and embarked on a gem mining mission. I have come to really love gem mining, because the minerals are so essential for your diet, and they are tasty as well. They taste and look like chocolate. I found some pretty cool gems and an arrowhead, but Heidi found the best gem of all! (pictured) We think it is a 18 carat diamond in the rough! The guy working there said it was just a piece of gravel. But what does he know? If he knew any better, he wouldn't be working at a gem mining place. So we are going to get it appraised and we are hoping it will bring 12-13 million dollars. I am going to use the money to purchase a vat of fresh milk!!


Love,

Brett
