  • Where celebrating the arrival of the new year with blue Tasmanian sapphires in the rugged wilderness of Tasmania's old tin mining country. The family and I set out on a two day adventure to search for sapphires and precious gemstones. Levi a modern day prospector will be using the sniping technique to locate large spinel underwater. Finding large spinel is the key to success with Sapphire hunting and we'll be loading up the sieves to find those precious gemstones.

    I know a lot are commenting on the family time, and I'm going to reply in kind!
    Bro, that's what it's all about, and the legacy you leave with your children, by passing on your passion, is the bee's knees of memories!
    Congratulations!🎉

      Hey mate, thank you so much for making a channel to record your adventures, is an absolute joy for someone who can't get out of the house to go bush any more 🫤
      I was wondering if something like Japanese "tekko kagi" claws would be useful for scraping the rock face to dislodge the rubble and find nuggets ?
      It might be difficult to explain to Mr Plod if you get searched though ...LoL 🤣
      Also, cut up 1.25L soft drink bottles would help protect the forearms of your wetsuits. Same for sections of motorbike inner tube 👍
      Cheers for the wonderful videos 🍻

    I just found your channel. Subscribed at once. You bring back memories of 20 03 and going to Flinders Island and looking for Kilarankie diamonds. From the children’s picture novel by Gary Crew. We were a group of Teacher
    Librarians on a fun literature tour. I am going to find my ring which I had made from that day with a quartz and start wearing it again.
    My other great find was my sharks egg which is displayed in our bathroom and causes comments as you can imagine! We also all bought Natulus Shells. Wonderful place. We went from Flinders Island back Hobart to a conference of 700 and all felt over whelmed by all those people after the isolation! Thank you for re focusing all those great memories. Look forward to enjoying your channel.

    Joyous family adventure, Levi! Even the unwell son came good and joined in his own way, and working great as a team was also enjoyable to see, hey, what?! Mate, hubby, dad and great bloke exemplar, as are the missus and kids, and how's the serenity?! You've known of our love of sapphires and other gemstones, and you've delivered in spades, ah, full shovels and sieves, we're very thankful for the close-ups and lighting to show off their beauty, and if you'd had a nice example of asterism, star sapphire, you'll only get the best six-pointed star effect through the silk matrix under direct and full sunlight, it's not so rare in the Tasmanian summer, so we'd love to see both shiny gold and shimmering star sapphires in the raw on the same adventure sniping, a bit of a tall lying-down sniping order, but then the gold collected and a star sapphire, not needing faceting, but polishing to a cabochon, and needs to be a 60° angle for the best asterism.

    I'd be really happy for more family trip videos if the family is into trips like this and don't mind being on video.
    I was more of a "car camper" kinda kid, but I've been on some longer trips deep into the woods like this where you couldn't carry easy cooking stoves and fresh food and whatnot, but that was more of an occasional thing like going canoeing for a week rrarely, but staying at a car-campground in a tent was a regular thing.
