[QUOTE="Nicko98, post: 295129, member: 8992"] Hey guys, I've been fossicking around Black Springs, NSW and am having some trouble. I've been digging in the vulcan state forest for all of my sapphires (not at sapphire bend, as i feel it has been picked too thoroughly and have purchased a permit). Generally i only dig about 20cm-50cm down but haven't been having much luck - only found about 5 small 1/8 inch sapphires in 3 trips (each of which have been about 5-6 hours digging). Just wondering if i can get some pointers or tips on knowing where to dig and how to identify the wash. I'm being thrown off by the fact i cant find any streams around either. Thanks for your time! :) [/QUOTE]
