I got out to Oberon with the missus today. Last time I was out here I eyed up a new spot near one of the public areas.
I gave it a crack today and oh boy, by the end of the four hour session, the two of us managed to bag over 150ct of zircon, sapphire and spinel!
Biggest sapphire went 4.10ct, clear blue green parti-coloured. Biggest zircon 2.6ct but a bomb, we got a nice clear zircon at 1.1. We kept a few of the big pieces of spinel we found, the biggest going 8.3ct! We also got a few nice big chips of star sapphire, sadly thats all they were, nothing substantial ?
Photos to come (its dark outside now so I have no chance!)
Needless to say, Im looking forward to next weekend! Theres still good gems out there ?
