LAWRENCE COUNTY, AL (WAFF)- Lazarus Gordon and his siblings are digging their way to fame and fortune at the Yellow Wolf Mining camp in Lawrence County. 

The idea is to get dirt, put it in a little screen, and put it into the flume. There is constant creek water running through it.

Lazarus Gordon, 5 years old, loves this. He said he is "gem mining."

Lana Flannagin, one of the co-owners said, "rubies, emeralds, sapphires, fluorite and different kinds of quartzes," are there for everyone to find.

Lazarus said his aren't very pretty, but he is just happy with his treasure.

"A crystal, oh wow that's pretty! And another crystal, and I don't know what this is," he said.

But that's ok, because there are people and maps to tell you what's what.

Lana said you never know what you can find.
