Hi TT Great stuff mate thank you so much. Great videos too very helpful love them. :) But I have to ask you, how did you know I have a beer gut?? :P You must be clairvoyant or something mate??? I must ask though, you crushed the rock up, and got the signal in the pan, was there any gold (in...

just love my little greenypoos :lol:

OK :)

Hi Sam83 sent you message let me know if you got it? Stan :)

Well doesn't matter. They must have been 4-5 ct before cutting. Still nice for sapphires. Keep getting them and if you get stuck for cutting let me know. :)

Its a lot of work willo1 but it can be done. It is basically like reciting the stone again but with a bit less loss - only worth doing for bigger stones though. I have re-cut a lot of stuff that was cut overseas Thailand, India. They do it cheap but you end up paying one way or another. :( Most...

Thanks guys for all your information, I will defiantly do a bit more research. I wanted to use it in a area where there is not much water (eroded creek banks) and crevassing dry creek beds. In this particular are there have been lots of nuggets found, but I dont think anyone has taken the time...

Hi Pawny Would like to help if I can, but I am in Brisbane.Would really need to see them closer. 8) Can you possibly take some macro pictures? To see the quality a bit better. Some stones can still be faceted free shape (even when shallow) and still look quite striking - very unique. I have...

Hi Would any one have any feedback or experience with the Falcon MD 20 (metal detector). Is it worth the money or is it just like any other pin-pointer as I have the MINELAB PRO-FIND 25. I have seen some videos where it seems to be good for finding very small bits of gold in creeks. Was thinking...

Hi Rodney Thanks mate, I just like to cut and polish gemstones and make lots of holes in the ground. Let me know if you are ever selling any rough material, I wouldnt mind a bit of nice black. I'm am very bad with taking photos too mate. My wife is responsible for the photos she is the...

Hi Rodney Very nice material mate. Looks like great quality stuff. I thought i might show a couple i got last year :8

Thanks numpty I cut quite a lot, but if I have already a doped stone- cut and polished about 10 to 15 - minutes - depending off course on the shape. Carving much longer some I have worked on for days. As you can imagine the price can differ quite a bit - depending on the quality of the opal...

thanks Baldy no it's actually a boulder opal

Its just a little bit of Bolivian Amethyst, 6.42ct the cut is just something I designed. I dont really take picks of stones before I cut them just after this is one I thought might be interesting. Still struggling a bit trying to work out how some things work on the forum. :8

sorry but on before pick for this one too late

Nice stuff mate looks like you had a bit of fun :) I have been reading a lot about using pumps and moving water from 1 point to another. 8) I think there is a lot of intentional misdirection and people trying to tell prospectors that they are doing something wrong. From my understanding you...

The Willows gemfields is a great area but I haven't worked it as much as I would have like to. I have seen some nice stuff come out of there though Wally. Definitely try to make some time for it when you can. I have however made some big holes around Rubyvale and Sapphire - found some nice...
