[QUOTE="user 1769, post: 92868, member: 1769"] Hi there, spinel is by far your best indicator. I usually dig either in rocky areas where I can reach bedrock, or behind and under big rocks. Look for natural riffles in the river bed, such as where you have rocks across the flow. You will only very rarely find gems larger than the largest spinel you're finding, so look for lots of spinel on your shovel, the larger the better. I'm hoping to get out a few times once the warmer weather starts, I can pm you before I go, if interested. [/QUOTE]
