Hey Guys and gals,
Just got back from a couple of days at Inverell.
And they haven't had so much rain for ages, oh and then there was the dust storm and wind !!!!!!!
But any way we had a good time and sussed out some good fossicking spots for when the weather improves for us.
Got to do some fossicking at ' 7 Oaks ', a top spot for a few dollars with everything supplied, sieves shovels buckets water and even tweezers as well as all the wash you can handle.
And there is sapphire in the wash as it's what he digs for himself,
as my 5.8 carat blue sapphire will tesify ;D. Also got a handfull of 1/2 - 1 carat sized stones and then the teenagers got " so over it " and we headed off to appease their hunger pains.
Can't wait to get back for another go !
Peter
