Usually they are far apart but i think i was in very old or un touched material as it was in a small hole in the bedrock a few feet or so below overburden! They are small, but i was pretty stoked
Great quality, but please film in landscape so it fills the screen. Nice finds. Wish I had gem hunting in my area. Here in north Texas I'm limited to mostly fossils.
Thanks for the suggestions! Ill definetly try landscape next time. Sorry for the lack of videos lately, life sure has its way of keeping me busy lately(moving, broken wrist) but I should be back into it soon! Do you get many different fossils in Texas? Definetly worth a trip up towards montana for sapphire.
@@offyourfacetprospecting We get mostly ancient sea creatures around here. Ammonites, sea biscuits, bivalve shells, and a few teeth. And lots of petrified wood. I think some archeologists did a dig back in the 70s and found a giant prehistoric sea turtle over where we get the teeth.
Thanks mate, it certainly shows the gems better 👍. I also lost my tripod, so once that arrives ill film the digging/adventures with the gopro.. and gems with my phone. Thanks again!
Gday cobba is this in the north east of Tassie? I’m just getting into jems don’t really know what I’m doing yet😂 been prospecting gold off and on for years but I now live in tin, gold and Jem country not just gold🙂
Just brought my first set of sieves watching lots of vids like yours and looking on maps to find some desirable places I live in the north east there’s gold on one side of me and tin, gems on the other just got to wait for the rivers/creeks to go down a tad more then it’s on🙂 give us a holler if your ever up this way 🙂
Where I live in NSW table lands my brother an I have been getting tonnes of topaz,citrine,spinel diamonds found 1500 carat topaz yellow in colour seems topaz in tassy is small compared to the mainland we find heaps of sapphires but there small as keep an eye out for diamonds there in every creek from tassy to cape York dude most people miss them thinking there quartz or crystal pieces mad vid bro
You and your brother are living the life mate! The topaz here is definerly on the smaller side and the bigger pieces always seem too be included. Although on flinders and very few areas you can yield few hundred ct specimens! Ill keep my eyes peeled, there is some reports on the west coast where diamonds have been found.. cheers dude glad i tested one more time that day lol. Happy fossicking!
Lovely little fella’s.
Thanks Jeff, it was a great end to the day and a nice little mix of colour's

Thanks man, was very surprised seeing such little dud compared too gemmy material..doesnt happen often

Phone video is good enough quality in my books.

Hey jason, this is the north of Tas. Its definetly worth getting some sieves and spending some summer days out there!
