Found while panning

[King Ghidorah]

Hello

I bought the gold rush nugget bucket last week and decided to test it out today. There isn't supposed to be any gold in these parts so I was surprised when I found a few tiny tiny pieces of flour. I also found tons of these tiny pink stones. Anyone know what they are exactly?



I am in SE Minnesota.

Thanks!

Possible rubies? Possible pink diamonds? Take it to a jeweler and see what they say?

Well King, it looks as if you've found yourself some garnets....

There are rivers up here loaded with them, and at times the sluice box
looks almost red from them getting hung up in the riffles.

Hang on to 'em..

I'm with DizzyDigger. Some can be of jewelry quality.

Looks like garnet.
