who knows . that egg sized diamond could have sat on his mantlepiece for 30 years until his grandkids threw it out in the garden



thats the optimist in me

wonder how many elderly people die and their relo's come along and take their mattress and writing desk to the tip without finding the $ 200,000 stashed inside them

I don't think I would know one in my sieve if I saw it.. Any tips?

Hey Jessiy , I found this web site a while ago & has some great looking diamonds, all natural

What does facinate me about them is the patterns that seem to form on them , look like they have been hammered into the stones

Wow. Such straight angles. Almost perfect triangles.

Thanks headbut!
Some great patterns form on stones don't they.
One on that page from the Jericho mine Canada looks like a big mountain range. Beautiful. Cheers for the link, great resource. Well for me anyway!

Found these diamonds after a local told me a story of how he found a big shinny stone in some sand he was landscaping with. Didn't think much of it until a visiter said it was a diamond and could he have it to take to SA.
Well he returned after selling it for $5000 but not to share the money but find some more!
He had no luck finding the spot but I did! I listen carefully and drove all over those hills around hanging rock looking for that sand pit.
Was not sure at the time if I was on to a good thing but now I know a little better and will return one day.

G'day

If everyone here donates some Coke and Mentos I'm confident we can build our own rocket and stake a claim on it
