[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 369273, member: 487"] To start with there is most likely no way that Bill (owner of Billabong Blue) will let you use a pump, I'd call fist and ask someone before taking a pump there. All you need is a good pick, crowbar, round mouth shovel, buckets and a couple of sieves !/4 inch and 1/8 inch. You can dig pretty much along any part of the creek or nearby to it. You can find sapphires anywhere on the property, from the surface to down as deep as you could possibly dig, luck plays an important part in finding good stones. Don't dig in anyone elses hole if it has a bucket in it and don't touch any tools you see left near the creek. Watch out for the leaches in the creek, they are large and nasty. [/QUOTE]
