PAIL Treasures!

There's nothing better than finding a special rock or treasure while hiking, strolling a beach or even on a dig site. But everyone can't go everywhere and find everything. To share this thrill of a special find, Felicia Davies developed Treasure Buckets Company, LLC to give people throughout the world the opportunity to delight in these discoveries at home.

Growing up on a small farm in Randolph, Ohio, she said, "I always hunted for treasures. I'd walk through the fields and look for flint. But what really hooked me into rockhounding was when my family took a trip to North Carolina looking for amethyst. I was absolutely hooked." To this day, noticing items found during a stroll through the woods or neighboring fields is something Davies and her husband, Jimmie, still enjoy. During the pandemic, it struck her how they were able to look for these wonderful things on their farm, yet so many other people throughout the world couldn't do the same because they weren't able to travel.

Davies said she thought, "Why not bring my passion to children, and children at heart, with our treasure-hunting kit?" Her goal was to allow everyone to embark on their own treasure hunts regardless of where they lived. To make this dream a reality, Treasure Buckets Company was born.

SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR EVERY OCCASION

"The very first (collection) was the Krystal Kettle," she said. "It was the gem mining bucket." Davies' goal is to provide everything required to not only find fascinating gems but to learn something along the way. Whether it's a bucket or a kit, each one features high-quality gemstones, along with a myriad of smaller pieces. The primary difference between the two is the full kit provides a drop cloth to keep the work site clean, a sifter shovel, and bags to sort the multiple finds, making it perfect for the first-time home treasure hunter.
