Lovely result for the central tablelands, especially from one of the little known localities. We used to get the occasional top sieve sapphire over towards porters retreat and some of them have an absolutely beautiful blue hue. Keep up the local content 😄
@@InSearchOf...Australia I wouldn’t know what it’s like nowadays but in the creek itself is where we always had the most luck. About 8 years ago I saw someone who was camping there for about a month and he showed us all his finds, one of which being a 30ct dark blue dogtooth sapphire. Lovely looking gem
Nice finds! My grandmother used to say that little boys who tell lies grow up to be weather forecasters... I spent today at Oallen instead of Sunny Corner because the forecast was somewhat less crud for down that way, turns out it didn't rain much at either of them. Cheers for the vid :)
@@InSearchOf...Australia Haven't cleaned it up yet. Was getting 10-30 specks per shovel, so hopefully it adds up. Five wheelbarrow loads, something close to a half cubic meter, I can't feel my arms now :)
Very nice colours and size of gems, Jason, a bait pump into the unseen underwater crevices might prove very satisfying, gems and gold in the pan. Would a top sieve worked as you do the smaller gauge classifier, just removing the larger rocks, would that centre any larger gems and nuggets as the heavies centre, when flipping over the pancake? A whopper gem for cutting would be a sought after commodity. TH-camr Chris of Vogus Prospecting had noted about Gemfest having been revived and he attended it, successful show, and seems a source for making connections online. Good luck to you next out, cheers.
Cheers. Yes, I used the pump but was too carried away to film by that point. I was surprised by how effective it was getting gems. I think i need a larger gauge top sieve on the bucket purely for the really big rocks. I will have to connect with those who know the are of faceting and polishing now that I have sizeable gems. My priority is to return as I have an idea where possibly larger deposits may be found.
Cheers. There is a stretch that veers into the state forest then back out into private land. Keep following the fence until it turns in towards the river. There is about 400 meters of river or so that you can access.
Nice find Jason... little bit of luck going your way mate.👍👌
Cheers.
Well done, nice results.
Cheers. I didn’t want to leave but my body thought otherwise.
Wow, well done Jason
@@tonyhardy6878 Thanks. I’m itching to go back now.
@@InSearchOf...Australia I should pull my finger out & get up there again .
It’s not easy to find the time. I just have to make it where I can.
It's a buzz to see them in the top sieve. Well done.
Sure is. Especially when they get bigger.

Cheers. I’m glad I went back. Porter’s hasn’t given me much love but I’m willing to keep trying there.

That’s awesome. I would have loved to have seen that.

Cheers. Persistence pays off.

Thanks! Well I know you would have found gold at Oallen. The question is: how much?

Now that’s dedication. Hope pays off!
Love the gem stones love ya vids buddy that water looks cold
Cheers. It wasn't too bad, unseasonably warm weather made it quite bearable.

I see you're still using the "lucky" shovel 😂
Good observation…yes. It seems to be living up to its name.
Nice work mate. How did you get access to cambells river, it looks like most of the access is private land?
