Thanks Chris

Never too old to learn agree.

Welcome joe...being from the southern highlands your right in amongst some great fossicking spots. Looking forward to some great pics and stories from up in the high country....Cheers Wal.

Thanks Wal, watched all your and Lizs videos while back and any new ones love it. Yes grabben gullen is my favorite spot only 15 min away. I do have some nice stones but nothing compared to you guys. Wee jasper also good and if i feel like Im fit to put in hard days work i hit the Abercrombie area. Ford Im yet to venture.. looking forward bumping into you guys

Hi Joe ...15 mins from Grabben Gullen....Are you near Gunning or Crookwell..??? lots of good sapphires there if you venture a bit further away from the bridge. Wee Jasper (macphersons) is all but stuffed now with the blackberries...hard to get near the creek..PM me some time and we can organize a dig and exchange stories.....Some pretty good gold in our region that hasn't been over flogged as well.....Cheers Wal.

Thanks Wal, will PM you I did go with Ted and Chris from ACT lap club few times and had fun. (last dig Paul and Jerry joint )I'm tossing whether to go Grabbie or Tuena this Saturday. You are correct under the bridge is pretty much all clean. Managed to pickup couple of hundred ct after the January 11 floods. My PM unlocks after few more posts I hope

Just seen one of Teds Green sapphires he cut from out there....came up really nice.....Tuena will be nice and hot this weekend and the water there 2 weeks ago was pretty low. Got 3 small nuggets detecting so i guess i'm not complaining. Are you panning or Hi banking ...???

Highbanking Wal, under the trees in a shade i hope
Yes Chris found that 6 ct green beauty day after i pulled out 12ct parti

HB is a put together from bits and pieces and this is what it looks like
