[QUOTE="Chiron52, post: 441267, member: 10176"] Just returned from Oberon. Friday - spent most of the day at B H Quarry. First time there. Met a nice Asian couple and showed them what to look for. Brought some crystal samples home and after I clean them I will post photos. Saturday - spent the day in Sapphire Bend area. No sapphires and only found a pretty little (very little) clear crystal. Today - stayed most of the day at another part of Sapphire Bend - "The big hole"? Found about a dozen very small sapphires. Hardly worth all the hard digging and blisters. Later spent a couple of hours at Porters Retreat. No luck with our dig but great talking to the 3 couples camped there. Long drive home via Abercrombie Rd to Goulburn then up the Hume Hwy. [u]Note[/u]: a cop was parked in the bush in the middle of the Hume Hwy with his radar. The afternoon sun was reflecting off the orange stripes on his patrol car and everyone could see the car from 2 kilometers back up the highway. :lol: :lol: :lol: [/QUOTE]
