Hey all. Soon im about to go off grid for a while. Hunting gold and gems. I'll hit the opal fields the lot. I would love to find a nice ruby. Im not far from the Barringtons and I've heard basically smallies but! With the vastness of the Barringtons and the amount of saphires even the pink ones on packers property not forgetting that light aircraft that dissapeared all them years ago. Im curious to have a poke around. Any thoughts?.
 
Hi Kilos, welcome to the forum.

There's plenty of info here on PA about the area - just try using the Search function.

Here's a post from a very knowledgeable member making it clear that all stones from the area are pretty tiny:

Pat Hogan: What is not reported is that the gems are mainly sub 3mm size and no large gems have ever been recorded.
