[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 293905, member: 2976"] They did have some pay-to-dig private places here like Proston - unfortunately, Proston is no longer. Public liability insurance costs of giving people permission to dig on your land are onerous to say the very least. The labradorite deposit at Springsure is still open for a very small fee. Again, it's a very long drive for me. It's a real shame about the public liability thing - the number of private properties where things are likely to exist is such that there could be a real tourist industry here. I'd like to see gem-obsessed geologists publish a comprehensive prospecting guide for Australia, that covers the sorts of things that would be covered in such a course. A lot of geo's actually don't seem to know a great deal about the subject - I don't think it's really their job except for a tiny handful of them. I think some of the big commercial sapphire miners at Anakie employed a geologist. Be good to be able to pick his or her brains. [/QUOTE]
