[QUOTE="Spud, post: 85164, member: 3196"] Awesome thanks Wally, this forum has been a goldmine of advice which is fantastic! So nice to find a hobby that people are willing to share their knowledge and help others! I think I will do that, just keep anything I think might be a goodie, that will save me kicking my self later on lol. Thanks Heatho. My Sieving techniques are not good at all but Im trying to practice at home. I also kept forgetting to flick the sieve over and was just picking them from the top! Mmmm might have to look into what the purple sheen ones are. Im trying to take pics of them but no matter what I do I cant get the stones to show what Im trying to explain in the pic lol Thanks Lefty, Im hoping experience will come quick. I did fall into a hole while I was walking with my head down the other day LOL Ta richo I tried that and ended up finding a glassy one I hadnt noticed before I still have 2 buckets in my garage that I was hoping to go through soon just didnt want to risk it coz the garage light is not the best and Im never home in time for sunlight! Heatho re the camera and torch, thank you!!! I was holding my stones to my fish tank light last night and wondering what the heck I was doing haha think I need to get another camera, dont think the good old iphone has that setting! [/QUOTE]
