Nice start. Keep up the good work.

You have gotten me curious now. These torches, where can they be purchased?

Starting to understand what that really means.

I`m in, looking forward to getting some dirt under the nails.

Thanks for the welcome. Hoping to get out soon, shovel in hand.

I`m starting to see that it`s not all luck, more than a little bit of science and knowledge and hard yakka.

Looking at the photos makes want to take a week off.

Are HBs worth the cost and effort?

Seems like you could tour Aus on a gem stone trail.

That Smokey Quartz is huge,

Like that advice. Don`t throw anything that looks like glass away till you test it at home.

Hope to get stuck into this really soon with the son, getting a clearer picture of what to look for.

Was not aware of the huge colour variations of sapphires

How can these stones be on the end of a shovel. Im starting to understand a little bit more about indicators of quality.

Went fossiking with my son recently, with then mind set of whats it all about. Watched TV shows that documented peoples lives devoted to it. Thought to myself WHY? Well after finding a few decent pieces. I know why. HOOKED!!!
