Prospector Collector

Set out on a realistic prospecting expedition in wilderness inspired by the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, where every river and ridge holds the promise of discovery—and the quiet sense that you’re not alone. In Prospector Collector, explore rivers, hillsides, and rugged terrain in search of precious gems and metals using authentic prospecting techniques. Pan for gold in rushing streams, sift through gravel deposits, run material through sluices, or mine directly into rock formations to uncover hidden treasures. Every discovery is unique. Gemstones are generated with real gemological attributes—hue, clarity, tone, saturation, size, and natural shape—making every sapphire, ruby, or diamond truly one of a kind. Sell your finds, build your personal collection, or donate rare specimens to museums as you work toward becoming a legendary prospector…all while something unknown lingers just beyond the tree line.
