[QUOTE="Badge, post: 641062, member: 21082"] Some things will never change. The Earth was flat once, and only a select few understood that it wasn't. Divining rods are no different. I've learned a few things since my trip started and then finished suddenlt thanks to Mrs Badge having a fall. 1. Sceptics will always be sceptics. 2. Sceptics don't have the mental capacity to use diving rods, just incase they might work. 3. A very valuable and cheap lesson on how to identify sapphires from a Rubyvale local. 4. Dig deeper when you have found nothing first try. 5. Always carry a larhe piece of corundum to scratch what you have found if in doubt. 5. Don't feed the animals at the zoo incase they bite. I had what I would class as a fruitful trip. The rods led me to some sapphires albeit very few and very small. And when I return I'll be spending some prime time with a certain local who gave me a few tips, including advice on using the rods and understanding the feel/vibrations. In all I ended up with well over 100 sapphires of cutting size ( not cutting size for me but Lamberts in Thailand mainly) but the vast majority was from a bag from Armfest. Cheers. Badge. Pic 1.From Armfest. Pic 2. 4.35 ct green and blue. Pic 3. A Pink. Pic 4. My results. A mixed bag. [/QUOTE]
