Not bad, they were honest and put up a sign that the bones were fake, made from casts of the originals that were respectful buried . If you enjoy history it was interesting. Not sure about the dig your own site.

This is a wonderful place to visit to learn about local Native American history. They have some terrific options for finding your own gems or for sifting through buckets where they already include gems, arrowheads, and a tiny diamond. My daughter was so happy to go through a bucket, and the history is fascinating.

Sooooo fun. Traveled to Pa to Fl to Ak. Had the most fun here. Sooo much information. Felt more than welcome. Husband found an asian coin. We didnt really do alot of digging, but did buy a bucket and got a diamond. Great quality.

This place sure is a good time. My girlfriend and I originally came to Murfreesboro to go to Diamond Crater National Park. That plan didn't end up working out. We were in a cute little antique store downtown, and they suggested this place. It wasn't too hard to find. The employees were very nice, and helpful. It was a beautiful day when we went, and we decided to sift through the buckets for minerals/diamonds. Guaranteed win, we paid for the $50 bucket. Got lots of beautiful minerals, 2 small diamonds, loads of teeth/fossils. Had a good time. Check it out if you're bored and live in the area. Check it out if your visiting, and you have time. Better to go before noon. At least on a Friday. It go busy right as we were leaving. I hope to return.

They have open lndian graves that you can see. You can hunt for arrow head and learn about early tribes.

We were having a great time and found 2 arrowheads. We had no idea they we replicas. They should have told us. We would have skipped the digging.Very disappointed.

Friendly knowledgeable staff. Self guided tour made for a pleasant walk. I learned a few things from the places describing the burial pits. Most interesting to me, this group of indigenous North Americans practiced skull deformation on their infants. I had thought that was strictly Egyptian and South American

I went because I read the other reviews and they sounded great but I was disappointed. It was a small flat muddy field that they had plowed up a few passes. I knew the arrowheads would be replicas and I'm okay with that. But we didn't find anything. Maybe we needed to spend more time there. We spent about an hour looking and found nothing. The day was really hot and there was no shade out looking for the arrowheads.

You get to buy beautiful rocks and might even find diamonds there. Fifth best place to go on my list

This is a beautiful place. My family absolutely loves it. The people there are friendly and the gift shop and walking trails and museum and walking to the Indian mounds is great too. Our favorite signing out to the field and digging for Indian Artifacts. But we love the Native American culture. Can't wait to go back really soon. This is one of our favorite things to do.

Very interesting place to visit. They have a little bit of everything from the culture around them, and back to their native roots. Great learning experience

This was a surprise. Although set up for tourists, they have an amazing collection of artifacts and information. The employee we talked to seemed to know a whole lot about the culture and area and was most helpful.

Awesome places, have been there several times over the last 20 years and this was one of the best experiences that we had. They even plowed up some of the field and found 4 replica arrowhead, lots of quartz, pottery from 80 to 1200 ad, and broken real arrowhead

This was an amazing, family fun kind of place! We hunted in their field for quartz, arrowheads, ancient pottery, and other fun rocks! Went to Crater of Diamonds the day before and did not find much of anything and the digging there was much harder. These were either laying out in the field or under loose dirt. Workers there were very friendly and informative and the gift shop had lots of really cool stuff!
