One thing about Denmark Acres… we’re always working on a budget! 😂
That means when we want to add something new, we try to get creative and find ways to reuse, recycle, or make things ourselves whenever we can.
Our mining sluice is a perfect example! What started out as an old chicken feed storage container from a retired chicken farm was turned into a working mining sluice with a little help from family and friends—and a whole lot of figuring things out along the way.
Now it’s one of our favorite additions to Denmark Acres!
Our mining bags are filled with gems and minerals from all over the world, including Brazil, Peru, Mexico and Madagascar, plus real fossils from Morocco that are millions of years old. And we’ve learned that mining definitely isn’t just for the kids—the teenagers and adults have just as much fun!
Just goes to show that sometimes you don’t have to buy something new. You just have to look at something old a little differently. ❤️
We can’t wait for y’all to try it this fall at Denmark Acres!
