LGHS beechworth finds

Hi all this is some of my finds from my trip to beechworth two weeks ago. River was up very high. Still a few people out there. Couldn't do much high banking but found theses washed up not sure on what all of these are but look cool anyway.
Thanks little gem hunter.

2nd pic is a nice little specimen of Tourmalinated Quartz, the others are mostly quartz too I think, well done.

Thanks Heatho l think it's not bad for my only second hunt.It was really hard to find any special one as the water was so high and running so fast,l couldn't get to close to it. Dad said when the water goses down a bit we will go back and use the high banker and l can go on the hunt for those good specimens. Mum said l bring home half the river bed each outing
All the best to you and all on this site.

Well done LGH. There's much more to come im sure. In the interim enjoy learning as much as you can. Now I want to get up to Beechworth!

Some great finds. That piece of tourmalated quartz is really nice, great job.
Keep up the good work and happy hunting.

It's great for just your second hunt. I'm sure there will be plenty more nice stones to come in the future. Keep at it.

What are the other potential finds where these quartz are located ?

G-Day LGH. .. It has been quite awhile....nice finds...when the water levels drop you should find more goodies, so keep at it and hopefully you will find that BIG One....

Well done LGH - the tourmine needles in quartz is a nice specimen .

I know nothing about the Beechworth area but if there's tourmalated quartz there, who knows if there might not be something else hiding there as well?

Hey LGH,

We're not long back from Beechworth/Eldorado, and theres lots of cool gems to find there. That bit or tourmalated quartz is a ripper. Here's what we found

https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=19473

The stuff you can find there is:
Topaz
Tourmaline(black)
Sapphires(very small)
Diamonds
Agate
Jasper
Citrine(like what i found)
Smokey Quartz
Amethyst
Corundum

and gold.

I agree with the other guys here, there was too much water to get to the good stuff, so when the water goes down, there should be lots of good stuff there to find!
