[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 101415, member: 2976"] Good on you mate, hope you do well. The only advice I can give is probably to start a hole where the diggings appear to run out - it's so dug over that you don't know if you're digging pre-dug stuff otherwise. I kept digging up fine amber-coloured specimens of fourexite :) so I'm pretty sure it wasn't virgin ground. The diggings are on both sides of the road, the little track that goes down to the creek comes off the northern edge of the road. I'll be heading down the Gold Coast for a week on Monday, then out to the gemfields the week after that. Hi Joao. I believe you guys get some of the best amethyst over there in South America. I saw a huge, 3 metre high geode from Uraguay in a mineral museum here, the cavity was lined with thousands of large amethyst crystals - it was magnificent! :) [/QUOTE]
