Gday everyone, good to see theres still people on the dig.As it happens ive moved back to south Australia for 3 years to get a new career up and running.Im a year up and two more left before I can hit the creeks of Tasmania again though I think ill be spending more time on the banks digging into...

Gday fellow diggers and diggerettes,just an update on 160 sapphires sent to lamberts for cutting/cabbing earlier on in the year.Well as ive said in the past and is now confirmed I was clueless when starting my sapphire prospecting career.Earlier this year,late march if I recall right I sent what...

Gday,was wondering if anybody knew of a stone cutter in Tasmania.Not sure how much it costs to have a green sapphire weighing 7.5ct cut.Any ideas? might be prepared to ship interstate if all else fails.cheers.

So I'm headin up the creek when in the corner of my eye I spot a bit of water feeding in from the side.I exit stage left and find myself on a dirty little mud/sand filled creek 2 meters wide at its widest point.I find a rocky decent at the far end where its now cut off by a road and is fed by...

Just been informed on another site that there are rumors up here in the NE of Tasmania that someone has picked up a 20 or so carat blue cutter in a creek 5 minutes from the one I'm slaving my life away in daily.Yer sure I'm doing ok but how will I go tomorrow knowing that within a few km's they...

Tell you all a story about a mad prospector.My old man Stan was a die hard fossicker.Him and his valiant travelled miles through all sorts of terrain looking for gold.One day he came apon a bit of coin and brought himself his first detector.Its was the much loved garrett groundhog.I spent many a...

Got alot of bomb sappfires and a lot of small ones.Can anything be done with these.Is it worth sending them to get cut at lamberts?Then again I wouldn't know if they were small anyway.Ive got 100 stones in bags which weigh on my dodgy scales at 50 grams.What do you guys think? cheers

Ingredients- 1x 1-1.5 meter 50mm plastic pipe.1x 40mmx 2.5mm coach bolt.1x wooden broom handle.1 pair rubber thongs.Mix all of the above together and you've got yourself a pump that makes yabbies head for the hills.Sappfires laying in the deep creek washes just don't stand a chance.

So is anybody heading to the NE of Tasmania this Chrissy for a dig? Catch up for a beer and a boast?

if you could get any detector on the market for Chrissy which one would you take.So many to choose from these days,Garrett ATX PI maybe or one from the minelab stable.GPX 5000 or the 7000.Maybe the 3030 is all that's needed.So I ask again,which one would you happily take? cheers and good hunting.
