[QUOTE="Dozzer, post: 39895, member: 1208"] Yep mfdes, getting away from the floged areas is what I like to do. I,ve found that the area behind the Pub is loaded with tiny zircons and a few small blues and greens,as most of the material in that area has gone through a crusher some time ago. Down in the fossicking area near Morina I tend to get a lot of good sized topaz very few zircons and again many small blue sapphire. The better stones I have found to date have come from the areas a km either side of the falls. Corn flower blue 4.5crt uncut, almost clear banded dogtooth at 5crt uncut. These areas were all worked for tin over 100 years ago and I would imagin that the Chinese picked out the better stones as they went. But if you proses enough of the right wash from the right spots you can still find some good stones. [/QUOTE]
