[QUOTE="Muzza, post: 446462, member: 13681"] Mangoat. I am far from experienced with Garnet, but a recent trip to the Gemfields in NT saw us using the smaller size sieves as mentioned in others posts here, yhen when all the loose dirt had been sieved out we washed the remaining gravel in a large pot capable of taking the full diameter of the seive. Once the gravel was washed we would hold the seive up to the sun and looking from below into the sun we could see the red colour of any garnets in the seive. If you have access to water you could run a hose through the gravel in the sieve instead of bucket washing. [/QUOTE]
