[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 470149, member: 2976"] I remember my Dad hitting a 40-odd carat one with the point of the pick while the stone was resting up against a billy boulder in the concrete-hard wash band. Brother and I were playing with our toy trucks in a mullock heap and we rushed over to the hole to see what the stream of screaming expletives was about :lol: :lol: He reckons he saw it and registered what it was - but was already committed to taking the swing. He ended up getting all the pieces back from the bottom of the hole and got 3 smaller stones cut from them. Would have cut a really nice single stone if he hadn't made a direct hit on it :D [/QUOTE]
