[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 198937, member: 487"] No worries AgateHead, it usually takes a decent bloke to admit that they may have been mistaken. If it had been raining heavily it can get very slippery on the property, coming out of there one day last week after a storm was like driving on butter in my Prado, so I can understand why they limited the areas on the day you mentioned. If BB supply the gravel/wash they certainly don't put any Amethyst in it, they may supply gravel but they are not their bags and would have no control over what happens with the gravel once supplied. I still don't think they supply the stuff, anyway it's not worth us arguing the point. From the mine they only supply buckets. Have you found many Sapphs or other gemstones at your weekender? Anyway I don't mind paying to dig, I see it more as paying for access to a large property, sort of like a toll. :) The public areas have been done to death there and it's hard to find a decent spot unless you live in the area.
