[QUOTE="Pickledeel, post: 408172, member: 12295"] We have now been out to the back of Oberon a couple of times on multi day trips and are learning heaps, thanks to the generosity of others out there. And I can happily report we have found a couple of small sapphires - along with a ton of quartz! Enough colour to have us hooked. One thing we have not been able to determine is what the etiquette is relating to existing holes, especially those outside the public fossicking areas. We came across a couple of large holes in the Vulcan State Forest that were perhaps only a day or so old. Each one of them would have required a huge effort to dig in order to get down to the wash. If no one is on site is it acceptable to continue work on the hole? Clearly the older, overgrown holes are up for grabs but what about fresher earthworks? [/QUOTE]
