We learned about the California Gold Rush this week and even had the opportunity to mine for gems ourselves.  What was it like to mine for gems?  Were you excited or nervous?  What were the conditions like for mining and how did they compare to the conditions the original '49ers faced?  What did it feel like when you found a gem?  Leave a comment describing your mining experience.  Follow the directions in the "How to leave a comment," gadget on the left if you need help leaving  the comment.  I can't wait to hear from you!

    I felt excited finding my first gem because I heard so many people talk about how many gems they found.In the end I found a lot of gems!

    Had a great time mining and found lots of gems including Sodalite Obsidian and Emerald. My favorite part was finding out the miners were the first people to wear jeans and that the rivets on jeans were originally used for holding tools.
