Hi All,
I'd like to start by confessing that I have an 'itch' I just can't seem to scratch. It all started about a year ago when I did some noodling out at Whitecliff and found a few potchy specimens. Since then I have been keen to get out amongst it and do some real fossicking. I have been reading many great threads on this forum regarding sapphire fossicking in NSW and have just received my 2 sets of sieves in the mail. So with next week off work I am hoping to head somewhere close to scratch this itch. I am curious, has anyone been out to Sapphire Bend or Porters Retreat recently and are these areas still producing. I live in Parkes and Oberon looks like it has the closest sapphire sites. I will post any finds in case anyone is interested.
