[QUOTE="Russdee, post: 47986, member: 2056"] Hi,just joined up,been skinning my knuckles down at sapphire bend Oberon off and on for a couple of years now,(frostbite,carpel tunnel and permanent red clay pigmented skin) found a few hundred crumb sized sapphires and zircons but only a few over 1 carat, 3.6 the best, tried grabben gullen a couple of times there at the bridge, got around 100 spinel for 2 sapphires and a few zircons from the bank where everyone else digs.I have seen the farmer but don't like to pester him, can someone please give me a heads up on where I can try that isn't as brutal as sapphire bend, and won't take me a week to get over a day trip. I've got the bug bad, I needed a hobby now the kids have grown up, but I gave up bricklaying after 30 yrs because of wear and tear and now I've jumped out of the frying pan, you know the rest! Anyway sorry for rambling but any advice would be appreciated. Ps Tried the band thing but bit hard getting wasted 3 nights a week at 50! Fun though.lol . :D [/QUOTE]
