The amount of stones that kept coming as it was being sifted was crazy. More than half the bucket was stones. Will definitely purchase another one.

This was a lot of fun and took me, my husband, and daughter about 3 1/2 hours to get through fully, this includes sorting out all the stones. I highly recommend giving the big dig a try!
I would love if in the future they are able to add a few larger stones if ever possible.

My kids love this. It's all mixed up and we have decided they can do a little bit each day and they are happy with that. There's so much in these buckets too. So worth everything 💗💗

I’ve gotten one other bucket and I was really excited to get this one. It came today. The box was beaten up badly and the one piece I was most excited about was broken, the agate slice. The slice was broken into 3 pieces.

Wife had so much fun doing the big dig. She was like a big child!

Amazing bucket! I spent 4-5 hours mining, cleaning and organizing all the beauties in this bucket! Just purchased a second one.

Very fun! My wife and I are slowly but surely getting through this together. Already found some sharks teeth, fossils and plenty of awesome stuff!

Always love getting theses. I’ve boughten a bunch all sizes. This one this time had wood chips in sand and cardboard pieces and junk plastic pieces. It was weird. Other then that all was great with great crystal/stones.
Picture only shows a small amount what comes in the big bucket.

Oh my gosh - this was such a fun time. I loved the variety of stones and the richness of the confetti sand. Plus the little special items - the mushrooms and little dinos were the best.

This is the third time I have ordered buckets from Declan's and I've never had an issue with the product but this time I was disappointed with the agate slice as it came to me in 3 plus pieces.

Was very excited for the big dig as I have bought smaller buckets before. Bucket was a little over half full and videos were slightly misleading. Great stones but not for the price advertised. Was hoping to make a regular thing. Won't be buying again. Smaller buckets are better. Very disappointed.

I LOVE THIS COMPANY! The big dig is the second Bucket I've gotten and I never get disappointed!

This was the best gift for my 7 year old daughter's birthday! We really enjoyed it. Only made it through 1/2 of the bucket and have a HUGE amount of rocks, shark teeth, fossils, etc. Will definitely be punching again.

The absolute best entertainment you can get! Packed full of raw and tumbled crystals, confetti sand, 4 CRACKABLE geodes, arrowheads, sharks teeth, fossil and 2 sifters! This is the best Christmas gift ever! I feel like a little kid!

Did not fully live up to all of the packing videos they have posted on TikTok. I received a lot of stones but not really anything bigger than I get normally in the gallon buckets. Aside from the 2 large pieces and the geodes. I wasn’t expecting large stones but bigger than normal bucket size ones.

This was an amazing summer activity. We had so much fine mining for crystals. I’ve ordered from Declan’s Mining Co multiple times and they always ship quickly and deliver quality products. My son is already asking for another bucket.

Lots of nice sized rocks! Beautiful sphere. Interesting fossils. Agate slice was broken but was still beautiful. So much confetti sand. I use the small rocks and fossils in my planters. So pretty! Took over an hour to sort through the whole bucket. Lots of fun!

Hands down the Best thing I’ve bought off Tik Tok, I spent hours looking at all the beautiful rocks (tumbled and raw), fossils and shark teeth! And the Agate slice was exquisite!
