[QUOTE="AussieChris, post: 405666, member: 4915"] Welcome to the forum Surfaholic, there are a few threads on the forum about the area. Sapphire Bend/Porters Retreat certainly still produce good gems, they can be small but there are of course bigger ones and the colours are great. The trick is to find the right layer in the wash, it's not overly deep either, you will more than likely see others workings. A little bit of rain lately so there should be some water down there to make things easier. You have inspired me to head that way this weekend, might hit Native Dog in the morning then head down Black Springs way, it's a nice bonus finding a few sapphires or even nice zircons in the sluice while after gold. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
