[QUOTE="Dozzer, post: 41481, member: 1208"] The gold bug is one I'm desperately trying to avoid catching. Spent some time plotting all the old aluvial areas and shaft locations in the Tower Hill/Mathina goldfields on some topoes but that is as far as I have gone with it. The Sapphires are what interest me the most. To date I have only spent time in the Weld river, the old fishing saying don't leave fish to find fish has kept me there so far. But going by some of your photos it's time to broaden my horizons. In all my efforts thus far I've only ever found one very small pink sapphire, I'd love to find a pink cutter. Pinks seem to be absent from all but the very bottom of the Weld. So I'll take you advice and give Branxholm Creek a run. If you are keen to give some new areas a run up this way and you would like some company, send me a post, I'm always happy to chase wild geese and you never know your luck it could prove to be worth while.
