[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 337548, member: 487"] Sticking to the creek area Pawny is probably the best bet, as Reeko said you need to do a bit of sampling from different areas there. Gemstones can be even more difficult to find than gold and you need luck on your side to get good ones. Up at Inverell last time my mate and myself were digging in one spot for 4 days and getting a few bits but nothing good, a family turned up and were digging just across the creek from us and with about 1/2 and hour found a suberb stone that would have been about 8ct. :N: They only stayed half the day and were rewarded with a cracker of a stone, we dug there for a week and left with bugger all, my mate got a 20ct black sapphire but nothing with any decent colour. Need a good helping of luck on any day out in the gemfields. [/QUOTE]
