Has anyone ever been to Gem Mountain in North Carolina?

Gem mountain is featured on the Travel Channel Show Cash and Treasure, where you can go and dig for aquamarines. I was just wandering if anyone has ever been there to dig and to see if it possible to make money off the aquamarines you find. I don’t if it would be worth the gas money, the cost of digging, and the cost of having the stone cut. Anybody know if it is worth it or not?

its worth it alright thats a great experience
