[QUOTE="rodking, post: 381960, member: 3711"] Around Lightning Ridge town fields opal dirt transported to dams and washed, any opal dirt left around the claims is not worth fossicking. About 50 km To the west of Lightning Ridge are the Grawin, Glengary and Sheepyard fields, the opal dirt is not processed and dumped at communal dumps. There are a couple beside the main road that have been well picked over, and others that you can find using aerial view in Google/Apple maps on a phone. You are not ment to fossick, but no one realy cares, just don't fossick on registered claims. There is a very good chance of finding chips of colour and even a stone. Hot at the moment, so you need some shade and drink plenty of water. Another good thing about the Grawin fields are the three local pubs, and the more genuine opal mining experience. Rod [/QUOTE]
