[QUOTE="dezman, post: 43539, member: 1018"] Here we are digging and propping as we pull the dirt out, a waste of time as there was little in it. I think back now and kick myself with hindsight for we could of done some long drives in the search of a new patch of opal. There is some pattern around the main run of opal through the field where you get pockets every 50 to a 100 feet. If your lucky enough to pickup on them. Most pockets are about five to ten feet long and sometimes you can be right next to it and not even know. Which leads me to my final story of the Big find I had. [/QUOTE]
