Fossick for gems

There are so many little rivers around Derby to fossick for gems! You may see some professionals with their big dishes fossicking at Paris Dam or similar places, or have a chat with locals at the museum to find other special spots. Our kids always enjoy this adventure, and even if we have little idea about all the gorgeous stones we find, they are treasures all the same!
