[QUOTE="Pawny, post: 229866, member: 4331"] Well i tried my luck today and bombed miserabally in my eyes. Lol i tried to find the right layer but was so hard to tell apart from clay and pebble filled clay. I had a distinct layer and grey dirt then red clay then a hard packed gravvely red dirt but i didnt get much just some tiny ones bout 2mm max in size lol im sure i wasnt on the mark or was i? One old fell bout 80 comes up to me and says "i did well out of this hole. Got myself a few good nuggets and some decent sapphires. Then in that hole just there i got this" he rips out a 17ct sapphire was just almost perfectly round a nice blue colour and not a crack or blemish through it. My jaw dropped he assured me the gravel i was in was it but i think i got a dud lol [/QUOTE]
