[QUOTE="Diamond Dogs, post: 466950, member: 14492"] It's been a while since I have been scrolling thru interesting chat relative to eagre prospectors. I hadn't been thru the diamond section until now. Well I have something of interest to post so I thought I'd join up to say my piece. My Dad worked for De Beers ( Harry Oppenheimer) in Kimberley South Africa. Yes at the Big Hole. (Granddad was an ANZAC and so was my grand uncle.) All that aside, you guys are eagerly searching for Kimberlite pipes and host rocks to indicate a fortune. It wasn't my dad who searched but was a representative of De Beers who looked for Kimberlite pipes and the like so that the big miners could make their move. Their research revealed nothing of commercial value. I see our friend has located a Kimberlite pipe in NSW and I wish him well. Basically diamonds in NSW are alluvial so they could be anywhere. You probably drive over it travelling north prospecting. That is definitely official as far back as the 1960s. So if you think that its as simple as finding a gold reef then think again. Wish each and everyone of you guys GOOD LUCK From The Diamond Dog. [/QUOTE]
