[QUOTE="Dozzer, post: 26475, member: 1208"] Hi all I caught the fosicing bug while holidaying in Queensland some years ago and had a couple of trips back that way since then.After moving to NE Tas I have had 6 or 8 day trips to the Weld river over the last few years, with mixed results. In general I get between 40-60 tiny sapphires a day, but very few over that time large enough to cut. I'm am contemplating setting up a high banker in an effort to increase the throughput rate to improve my chances of getting some larger stones. Would I be better of concentrating on the mainland( north island :P )fields? I did have a look at the vid by Wal and Liz in witch they got some good cutters, mabe I just need to persevere? [/QUOTE]
