[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 69806, member: 1916"] The whole area is littered with sapphires the size of marbles, unfortunately some of them are invisible to the naked eye. ;) Seriously though, there is colour in most of the creeks for a good hundred Km's around emmaville so the property you are on may give up some colour. Your best chance will be to find some local knowledge if there are wash layers on the property, as ideally you would want to work them or in the creek downstream from the exposed wash where a natural rock bar or a granite boulder section assists in concentrating the heavies. If the property is located more on alluvial flats you may be pushing $@&t uphill and a trip to the GPAs or Billabong Blue may be more worthwhile. I have not personally been to emmaville but have seen some nice stones from the area. Have a great trip. Added.......Might be worth dropping in to the emmaville mining museum [/QUOTE]
