I've always made my own buckets, adding onto Declan's bucket. This was a mystery and we'll worth the money. We got a breakable geode, sphere, and several cool stones. I had two teen girls and a 5 year old boy bargaining and swapping for the coolest. Some lit up under black light. We even used the confetti sand tiny pieces to make a cool colorful bottle. Love this. It made a hot afternoon bearable.
So with it being Spring Break for our area, I ordered 2 second chance buckets for my Daughter & my Nieces Daughter (they also happen to be best friends) so we had a Girls Day and they kept busy for almost 3 hours digging through their buckets, comparing the crystals and fossils they got, they even traded each other for certain ones the other had. It was a great day of fun! Thank you!
I am so excited that I finally got a second chance bucket and it has not disappointed! I am still sifting but I have found so many shark teeth and fossils on top of all the pretty stones!
No tumbled stones in this second chance bucket but the children loved it all the same .
Great mystery bucket. Fun surprises.
Ponderin Adventures with Big Papi. I came across this great company last year and I’ve been following them ever since!! I’ve purchased many buckets and recently got 2 second chance buckets. I love DeClan’s Mining Co and the whole crew. I highly recommend them!! Especially if you know someone elderly, someone who is shut in, in a nursing home or an old rockhounder who can’t go any more….. Much Love!! Allan C/Big Papi Adventures
I ordered the Second Chance Gallon Bucket and it was packed full of fun! I received a mix of raw stones, fossils, a dinosaur figurine and tons of confetti to sift through. I also ordered a bracelet from The Wall and it’s absolutely gorgeous! Each stone is authentic and great quality! I highly recommend Declan’s Mining Co. for any occasion!
10 stars all the way around. First time ordering for myself and I can’t wait to do it again. So many beautiful colors, shapes, sizes, so much happiness in each bucket. shopping was super quick too and that’s always a plus.
What a great way to purchase a bucket!! I had a few extras in this mystery bucket 😍
Our first order and we absolutely loved it! Such a great mixture. Can’t wait to order again!
Loved the 2nd chance bucket! I bought the Gallon one. I don't think I got one with add one but just what was in it was great!! Will most likely purchase again in the future and hope to get one with add one cause that's always a bigger bonus! I was able to 100% identify every stone. Loved this total mystery bucket!
The mystery buckets are so much fun. I would have been happy with any bucket, but this one was all tumbles (and such a great variety), plus some add-ons.
Our second bucket was just as much fun as the first!
Second chance bucket was the og. Sometimes you just need to go old school.
I was excited to score a second chance bucket! I even got lucky enough to get one with the Dino Dig items added in! I love love love the quality and amount of stones in this bucket. DMC always “rocks” it!
This is such a great way to purchase a bucket. You don't know what you are going to get and that makes it extra fun! It's a true mystery bucket. As always we had tons of fun sifting the bucket and seeing what new crystals we got to add to our collection. The crystals are always a great quality, but the clear quartz was like crystal.
Live gow many forgotten or lost buckets get second chances on going to a new home for someone else to do. This is truly a mystery bucket you could get add ons which we did or you could get a normal bucket it is soooo exciting.
This second chance bucket was AMAZING! It had so many add ons. You never know what you're going to get, which makes it even more exciting!! Will definitely purchase more second chance buckets if/when they become available!
It was exciting not knowing what we going to be in the bucket. My son loved ever minute of it and can't wait for us to get more. It was fun for the whole family!
Thanky you so much! It was filled with very cool rocks and geodes!! I love this store!!
My 11yr old loved it. Thank you
I was not sure how this experience was going to turn out, It was so relaxing and exciting every time, I pulled out a hidden gem, What a great experience 😀 and a great variety of stones, Thank you!
Have always wanted to try a second chance bucket. Was a little disappointed that it seemed kinda light on basic material, even if it was a basic bucket. And it didn't include any cool extras. I'm glad I finally got to try one out but I probably won't try it again. We'll see
It was very fun activity to do with my granddaughter
You never know what’s inside a Second Chance Bucket and that’s half the fun! 🤩
This was a mystery bucket, a second chance item so we didn't know what add ons we would get. I definitely recommend. Price was great for what we received. I had 2 teenage girls and a 5 year old boy bargaining with each other over the contents. We put the confetti sand pieces in a glass jar with water for display since it's so pretty. Several stones glowed under black light. We got one breakable geode, a large smooth stone, and a sphere add on. Lots of fun.
These were fun to open. I ordered two and got a mixed bucket and a mining bucket. Would have been more fun if there would have been extras but I knew there might not be when I ordered them.
I love these buckets! So fun, and all a surprise! Great value.
The grandkids loved treasure hunting! Many thanks!
Always fun getting a bucket from Declan's Mining Co!!! With the Second chance buckets you never know which one you'll get! And you can save a bit of $$ too!!! 10/10!!!
kind of just disappointed that they were all just standard 1 gallon buckets with single geodes :/ Did get exactly what I ordered though by taking the chance. Still cheaper than the 5 gallon bucket I usually order. Fast shipping.
I was hoping to have something extra in it, but no luck this time. I was disappointed with how few polished stones there were in the confetti sand in the gallon bucket.
Got this bucket for my son's 4th birthday and he had such a good time. I am looking forward to ordering again.
Amazing! Bought two buckets, one for my mother for mother's day and another for my twin girls for their birthday. First bucket has been opened, the second bucket we are waiting until Father's Day to open it as a family. We love everything. It was standard bucket with no extras, but for the price I am not complaining. This is a great way to see if you like the product before spending full price. I am extremely pleased and will be purchasing more for events and birthdays.
Love the second chance buckets!
The kids had so much fun cracking open their buckets and showing off their treasures. We were so caught up in the excitement we forgot to take pictures. Next time.. :)
Absolutely 100% wonderful
Very fast shipping. Loved all the stones.
Love everything so far. Big hit with the kids. Will definitely be buying from them again.
You never know what’s inside, as far as extra items. The quality of all the buckets makes this best deal ever.
We have a mining bucket for any fun activity with your kids or special occasion.
