Enthusiasts often use tools like shovels, sieves, and picks to help uncover hidden treasures. Many people enjoy gem hunting as a hobby, while others pursue it for profit. Popular gemstones sought after include diamonds, emeralds, and sapphires. Some areas even offer guided tours or pay-to-dig experiences, making it accessible for beginners and families looking for a fun outdoor activity.
