[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 165997, member: 2976"] G'day Wrasse. Yes, our area is pretty bleak for fossicking opportunities. The geology is pretty ideal and my belief is that there is plenty of Gemmy stuff in the region, it's simply that there is no access to any of it. There are old records of sapphires, zircons, garnets, topaz and other things but the exact localities are lost in history. I hadn't heard of garnets in Diglum creek but It wouldn't surprise me if they do exist. Not sure where Diglum creek is but the name rings a bell. Lowmead is the sole location where you can fossick, it is heavily dug over but not dug out and worth a look. I usually take something home from there at least. Cheers [/QUOTE]
