Thanks Joe,
Gem bug is under statement mate It's very addictive hobby.AAAhhhhh

What type of mob phone you have richo966?, for taking pics.

 

[richo966]

using camera Fujifilm fine pix 5 might get wife to use her smart phone i am not smart i cant use one lol

 

[Gold689]

That's OK richo966,

fixed camera is hard to down size the pictures pixel.

smart phone in the other hand is very easy to adjust from 8m to under 1mega pixel, ask the wife where is the button for taking picture and then press menu for resolution size pick the smallest one 1m or under that is the requirement size for upload in the PA forum.

I am not smart either, that's why they call the phone smart phone it will do the thinking for you
hope this helps.

Cheers,

It's actually two stones just the same carats.

Just wanna see if someone will notice

Hi B,
Very nice finds, I was up there on Sunday at the private property, and heard you'd found a nice sapphire from Owen's wife. Unfortuanately I still haven't found anything like those. I've tried all the likely spots but I've only found small sapphires. I've walked all the way up to wattle creek with very little success. I'm still not sure I'm actually digging in the right spots. Should I be digging in the creek behind large rocks etc or should I be looking for old river wash on the sides of the banks on corners? Has anyone got any pictures of the sort of wash I should be looking for. Any help will be appreciated.
regards
Geoff.

G'day Paperboy,

walked all the way up to wattle creek?!! you don't need to walk that far, you have the right idea on digging behind the rocks. It doesn't have to be large, the key is to Spec the ground for a trail of spinel and once you've found the area where they all gathered dig away!!

But before you do that YOU have to watch this video over and over again to understand how to & where to find those elusive gems. Really you have to open your ears for the hint or hidden information it's there

The results of Katrina and I, after a couple of hours at GG. We are both pretty new to sapphiring and realise this isn't a gigantic haul, but we were happy with the results and had alot of fun. We aren't quite sure what the Olive coloured stones are, perhaps somebody can shed some light on it? They look like Spinel in the shade.

We enjoyed meeting everybody that stopped by to say hello, including a couple of forum members. But an especially big thanks to Colin & his lovely partner Lee, it was great to meet you both and your help was incredible. Hope you had a great day with alot of luck!

 

[richo966]

the green ones are olivine and was good to meet you two mate nice colour stones

 

[Gold689]

Nice little haul you got there Dylan

You did better than my first time at GG Creek.
Next time make sure you don't forget to bring your 1/8 bottom sieve, you will double your chances of getting more gems
