hi all, im a young bloke. fairly new to fossicking. have been up to sapphire CQ fossicking a few times (my mum has a claim there) and absolutely love spending the few weeks a year I get up there digging in the creek or at big Bessie. my best find so far would be either 5ct cutter which created a beautiful 1.2ct blue sapphire with a yellow edge on one side. though last trip I found a 92ct beautiful big one still unsure as to cut table or not has visible colour on a couple sides buts it's so chunky it may be either a bomb or very deep blue, yet to be checked by a jeweler.
anyway I have just got into gold panning and exploring more recently as it's closer to home on the sunshine coast. have been panning at deep creek, total bust! 2 tiny flakes. went to prophet mine and found 2 nuggets over 1 gram and around another gram in small pickers over a few hours so that was great fun.
is there any days that groups go out detecting I would love to learn all I can aboutbold prospecting and love being out in the bush regardless of wether I find a 10 ounce nugget or a total bust. adventure is the prize.
