Black spinel is the indicated stone when we are digging for gemstones, there is plenty of it in Australia and other locations

Hey Jonathan, I usually move around a lot while digging and a lot of times there's no where to flip. I find working the bottom sieve like a gold pan(the the corner) is a much quicker way..which means I can go through more gravel!

Im not sure how much this would be worth🤔 Not sure if I'd ever sell it

Thank you! Im very eager too see the outcome once its cut.. but holding onto it in the rough for some time..😀 ive never really seen another one like it yet! Btw, great videos ive watched a fair few over the years!

Hey josh, this one is lower wyniford river off three notch track!

@@offyourfacetprospecting ahhh yes I know where you are talking about 🤙 awesome videos mate

😅 Even worse when its a sapphire😶🤣 done that one as well!

Thanks mate, your onto it! Moved too Australia when I was 18 from Massachusetts!

Thank you, im glad you enjoy it!! Im finally back into it😃

Hey mate, ive never really looked into the geology of that area. I do know there is sapphire apperently around lisle and I've heard rumours if some towards launceston.. but worth taking the sieves and get behind a big rock and see what the river is hiding away😀

Yes it is the safest place when your in the creek😅 If your ever down in Tasmania, I dont mind helping others find some great stones!

@@offyourfacetprospecting lol please don't choke on it 😅 Unfortunately I'm in South Africa

Thanks for the suggestions! Ill definetly try landscape next time. Sorry for the lack of videos lately, life sure has its way of keeping me busy lately(moving, broken wrist) but I should be back into it soon! Do you get many different fossils in Texas? Definetly worth a trip up towards montana for sapphire.

@@offyourfacetprospecting We get mostly ancient sea creatures around here. Ammonites, sea biscuits, bivalve shells, and a few teeth. And lots of petrified wood. I think some archeologists did a dig back in the 70s and found a giant prehistoric sea turtle over where we get the teeth.

Thank you, it sure was a special day! I have been slack with the content at the moment(broken wrist) but ill soon be at it again!

You and your brother are living the life mate! The topaz here is definerly on the smaller side and the bigger pieces always seem too be included. Although on flinders and very few areas you can yield few hundred ct specimens! Ill keep my eyes peeled, there is some reports on the west coast where diamonds have been found.. cheers dude glad i tested one more time that day lol. Happy fossicking!

As a permanent resident, with a fossicking permit you are definetly allowed to fossick/prospect abiding by the rules. I have been a permanent resident for nearly 10 years now, just havent had the time to look into citizenship or the extra cash. Even non Australian tourist's can get a miners right/fossick permit and have a go.

@@offyourfacetprospecting that's cool dude as a permanent resident you can do fossicking but for tourists it is still illegal under the Australian constitution but the government doesn't enforce it hey ya vids are cool man I do plenty of fossicking with my brother in northern NSW been finding lots of cool topaz you should apply for citizenship Australia is a great place to call home bro good luck fossicking

Usually they are far apart but i think i was in very old or un touched material as it was in a small hole in the bedrock a few feet or so below overburden! They are small, but i was pretty stoked

@@offyourfacetprospecting gotta luv a honey hole mate very well done

Thanks mate👍, if only we could melt them into one 🤣😉

Thanks man, was very surprised seeing such little dud compared too gemmy material..doesnt happen often

Thanks mate, it certainly shows the gems better 👍. I also lost my tripod, so once that arrives ill film the digging/adventures with the gopro.. and gems with my phone. Thanks again!

@@offyourfacetprospecting I look forward to watching when it arrives!

Thanks Jeff, it was a great end to the day and a nice little mix of colour's

Hey jason, this is the north of Tas. Its definetly worth getting some sieves and spending some summer days out there!

Just brought my first set of sieves watching lots of vids like yours and looking on maps to find some desirable places I live in the north east there’s gold on one side of me and tin, gems on the other just got to wait for the rivers/creeks to go down a tad more then it’s on🙂 give us a holler if your ever up this way 🙂

@@FeatherHorseforge Always good to be surrounded by it all

Thank you!😁🙌

Thanks michael, certainly the nicest looking stone ive seen in my top sieve! 🙌

Thanks Michael, the adventure and challenging my self is just as enjoyable as the stones i find along the way!😀

Thanks mate!

Yeah mate, moorina still produces!!

Thank you, honestly I would have no idea lol but in my eyes its priceless.. they are so hard too find!

@@offyourfacetprospecting It's a gem display it well!👏

Thank you, im not sure where shanon river is.. but luck was definerly looking after me this day
