[QUOTE="AussieChris, post: 409405, member: 4915"] Mate, I don't think there is any real secret to it, pretty much all the waterways down there will hold gems. If you find gravel you should find gems. I don't know if there is much to it but Native Dog Creek for me, I tend to find gems if I'm working clay. Sometimes you will be lucky and find a sapphire or two in your wash, zircons are pretty much guaranteed. My kid was finding them down there before she was really even remotely interested in fossicking and prospecting, different story now though, she brought home over a gram of gold from crevicing last week lol. Black Springs, Sapphire Bend, Porters if you are anywhere down there you will find gems, of course, if you had a time machine and could go back 30-40 years well......... Here is a pic of my very fashionable doofus pulling faces, if she can find them...well then there is hope for us all.
