Sniping for blue Tasmanian Sapphires and precious Gemstones Does it work?
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Its been something of wanted to try for a very longtime, sniping for sapphires and gemstones. Looking online I couldn't see anything or anyone trying this method to fossick for gemstones so I thought what an awesome opportunity to try it out and see if it works. Sure enough it does and I was able to find an array of sapphires, topaz and zircons. I hope you enjoy.

Beautiful genstone, very colors, here in Brazil too hunt gens, hug, from Brazil .
Family that fossicks together, stays together. Keep up the great work.
Hello, I would be happy if my "mum" would also go panning for gold. I have to bribe the kids with Nürberger sausages. Was a pleasure to see you. Continued success in your fantastic country. Greetings Tom
A gold ring with a blue sapphire in it! made from what you have found with your own hands from that beautiful country of yours! That truly is priceless! ✊
While you've had hardships viewers are aware of and likely others we're not. The family and locations suggests a truly blessed life. Much appreciation Levi for sharing just a little of that life.

I found a green stone but I don't know what it is, can you help me please.
Great to see the family. Good luck be safe 🙏. Hanging out with family priceless.
Awesome day out Levi, I love the fact that your family enjoy getting out there amongst it with you. Your a lucky man.
Love that little ‘fossicking’ family… 🥰💎😊🇦🇺❤️
The joy of searching and beautiful nature are things that make you really happy. Greetings from Algeria
Cripes, this took me back to my own childhood, down Weld River dredging/fossicking! Cheers, Levi and Fam for taking us on this one!
Wishing you luck brother. Beautiful day spent with mum and the kids. Too me these gems that joined you on this adventure were the truest gems to have on any adventure. Thanks Levi for a fun filled adventure. You truly are a gem in disguise. Thank you for sharing.
The last black Jack looked like a heart to me. What a great family outing!
Looks like you and the Family had a lovely day. Next time your going to do a bit of Mineral sniping, bring an UV torch with you. Topaz will pop out with golden-yellow's as well as the Zircon's which have a more mustard brown glow. Really helps narrow in on patches too. Cheers, love your episodes!

Good job lad thinking outside the box. 👍
Well done Levi good for you for having a go at sniping for gem stones, its good to see the family involved as well, great video thanks for sharing.
👍🏼 Beautiful Place You Have there Levi! Thanks for Sharing and StaySafe
Levi your boys will soak up all your knowledge and skills so keep up the family adventures you are an awesome father and your boy’s will return the love you show for them 10 fold when you and the gorgeous wife grow old.All the best from Scotland and heavy pan’s for life.
Beautiful scenery awesome video thanks for sharing xx
Awesome trip you had with your family. Can't wait until all my boys are a bit older and were able to do stuff like this
Nice! Very beautiful stones! Now let's get back on the gold because nothing in that river is prettier than the yellowstone. Lol when I go up to dig in the mountains I dredge or sluice. When I dig I dig into a half 55 gal. Plastic barrel cut in half the long way with a rope weaved thru to pull it with over to my box. I usually run 7 to 10 half barrels thru my box each day. Would love to see you pick a good spot to dig and run a sluice out there. Thanks for the videos and good luck to you Levi! Joe gold
Awesome Levi and family. Thank you. Andy
It's great to see a new and different type of search. Very nice amd thanks for sharing Levi.
Pretty rocks ....cool adventure for the family.... but it aint like gold brother!..lol!
I'm in love with the beautiful flora. So prehistoric
Awesome gemstones Levi 👍
Levi, not sure if you can get your hands on a waterproof black light flashlight, but those sapphires glow if you shine it on them, might make it easier to see in the water. Really nice video, I love seeing all of you out there having fun, making great memories. Stay well!

Good job brother, well done. Mark H (Bali)
Hey Levi, I started watching your videos a week ago or so and Im hooked. Great videos. Im new at prospecting and you are teaching me a whole lot!! Keep the videos coming.
What a cool day with the family bud!said it before, but think its awsome that your family love the outdoors and treasure hunting! Thanks cousin Levi!lol
Love it Levi! You are rockstar in the rocks!
Pretty colours and the stream and ferns so lush. So love the bubble sounds and swishing water to get to sleep 😴 if I wake through the night and have trouble getting back to sleep. Thanks for making these clips of your adventures.
Oooh,interesting . Awesome finds 🙌👏🏻👏🏻
Way cool brother! Nice to see a change from gold and to something equally as awesome! Sweet finds and thanks for sharing, hope you and the family are amazing!
Thank you Levi and family for a awesome video I would love to be able to go out and do this with my family
Oh, l just love watching your prospecting, you're awesome.
Great to see your family involved in this adventure 😁👌👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️
A great day out with the family in another spectacular location. Well done mate and keep up the great content.
I always love your videos man. What a beautiful place to spend time. Can’t wait for the weather to turn here.
Gold prospecting is very therapeutic for me specially when striking a good nugget size. But gem hunting is somehow frustrating at some point as getting a gem quality stone is hard, I would usually find minute or a lot with inclusions on it. Sometimes, I end up catching crabs instead 😂
Stunning Levi and beautiful sapphires. Great filming 👍
What a wonderful way to spend a day❤
Now that was awesome congratulations on your haul
Another beautiful area of Tassie, great job Levi awesome collection 😎👍
Awesome that you are doing this with your family.. I have sent you a photo of the ones I got years ago in Inverell in NSW.. Will send you a company that cut mine by the Carat weight and they send back the ones that are not cuttable.. Cheers Famo59 👍🍻🤓⛏
Hiya Levi, awesome video mate, those are some really cool gemstones, and worth good money too. I'm a rockahalic so to see beautiful gemstones like those is really awesome 😍. And the whole family had a chance to find some beautiful stones too ❤️. I hope you and your family, has a awesome blessed day mate. Cheers! Cya! 😺🐟 out!
cool finds fam. keep on having fun fam. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!
What a beautiful place. I would love to be there. Cool finds.. Have a great day..😎😎😎😎
Can’t wait to come over I have a nephew over there might have to have a look around 👍👍👍❤️
Unreal guys
Awesome finds! Keep the videos coming!
nice one bro cool gemstones
Gotta love it when you get an idea that's eating at you because you were right.....trust your gut! That's quite a haul! Would a uv light give you a "glowing" edge on some of your gems especially in the darker areas? Quality entertainment....thank you 🤝
That spinel looks very similar to the water tumbled obsidian that I find. I find plenty of agate too, but none of those pretty blue sapphires though. Great vid Levi! 👍🙂
Spinel polishes up beautifully with a mirror shine on the facets. Much underrated gemstones and great for jewellery.
Grate video levi this is the only one I have ever seen off sniping for gemstones it's a grate idea off using a black light under water
Gorgeous stuff !! Cooke to see the difference in blues they can be !!
Loved the video! Thanks for sharing!
Another top video mate, i always drive over those rivers, sometime I'm gonna jump in and go for it!
I watch these types of videos and they make me think of all the stones I want over when Im fly fishing. I know my area has gold and garnets
First,now onto the video
Beautiful place. Looks like fun!
Excellent results buddy, those spinel actually cut really nice.
Beautiful nature and gems.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Awesome bro! Never thought that would work but actually does, and some amazing results! I think there might be a spot that would be really good for gemstones here in NZ, its got an incredible mix of geolgy and when gold prospecting has about 9 different colours and types of blacksand ranging from brown-black-silver and an insane amount of red garnets of different sizes and some very almost gem like looking material, just not sure if it has any actual good gems as I am currently pretty useless at reconizging them. Keep up the great content!

Snipping, interesting word. I am sick at home with cancer. Thank you for letting me come with your family.
I wonder if they would glow with an underwater black light flashlight making them easier to identify? Very cool concept and great haul all while getting quality family time in. Cheers!

Omg this so awesome to watch, funny how gems are everywhere if you know where to look and have the patience. Great videos! I thought this was in New Zealand till I read where you were. Sweet as :)
This was a great idea, might be some bigger gemstones hiding in there! Just as fun to watch too. It's odd that a creek with so much quartz doesn't have any gold

Granite has gems and sometimes has gold but a lot of the time it’s just made out of quartz that has no gold
Beautiful natural stones. ……💎
Oh, l do wish l were younger and able to go and do this sort of thing. It looks so amazing seeing all those "Little pebbles" underwater. I am a jeweller and this looks so much fun. Your vid was the first of yours l have seen so l will be looking for more that you've made. Congratulations mate, and lovely to see the family doing it all together. God Bless and cheers for now! 😁😍
What an absolutely gorgeous location! I’m in boring Ontario.
Awesome looking river.
That black jack looks amazing cut
Hi, I love your videos, and they are really helping me get an idea of how to start fossicking in the Weld River area. I was just wondering what are the sieves and tools to suck up the sapphire are, and where you got them from. I would really like to use the same tools as you guys so I can use the same methods as you. Also thank you for all you're amazing content!😉
I grew up in tassie. When I was a kid we used to go to mole Creek for stones. Give it a try sometime. Used to find alot of fossils there also.
Great to see you out sniping for gems they look cool under the water might be hard to see but when it comes down to panning or sniping panning loses out all the time :-) ATB Brad
That us the most beautiful Forrest I have ever seen.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing
You live on a gorgeous Island approximately 1/3 the size of my state, Oregon, with a population of only half a million, and you can drive to gold, Gems, Lobsters and utter beautiful solitude. Sign me up, do I need a sponsor to immigrate? Hint, hint, nudge, nudge : D Great video Levi, I would love to find gems like that!
Nice! You should mail one or two of the sapphires to the youtuber Vintage Time to have them faceted!
So cool to find them!
Hi mate, watched this video while enjoying my coffee and breakfast today. I am slowly working my way through your channel as I find it really enjoyable. I take a lot of satisfaction with the beautiful locations, the drone shots and you hoovering up those tiny gem stones. Can I ask what you do with the gems and gold you find, do you sell it to cover the costs of your expeditions? What you do is brilliant and I look forward to watching another of your videos soon.

Wow...im so amaze...!
P.S. As a suggestion > Try using a wooden frame with a 1/4 " mesh screen on bottom, add stones and hold overhead to sunlight ! Very easy to reach up and pluck out the gemstones ! Simple but effective! Best ! Grandpa Ron😊
Hi Levi: This has to be a nice check in the win column, material from the cracks alone for one. Question: At approx 12:09, how much sapphire would you deem cuttable? 10%? 15%? +? -? And can all the remainder be sellable if lapped?
We're back KZread unsuited us 🇺🇸. Keep swinging 💯 Beautiful stones.
wow the forest look amazing it would be a dream to explore it and see what kind of creature and plants live there ... let's protect our forests and be sure it's still there in the future :)
Loved this vid, was wondering if you had alluvial gems in tassie, will you be getting any of them cut
Great job, thank you
Nice haul!!! I kept looking for a velociraptor to walk out into the river to take a drink! That place looks like Jurassic Park! Stunning!!! Cheers from Atlanta, Georgia USA!!! 🍻🍻🇺🇸🇺🇸💯💯🤘🤘

Yeah is crazy country my gold areas are even more so prehistoric looking
I'd love faceting some of them 💎
Nice, such a beautiful place to snipe. I wonder if a separate blue light would help sapphire spotting
We love finding gemstones although our prospecting takes away from our home, across the sea to a place we staked a claim on common ground, to a remote island. So excited, but so tired and we caught covid, only just turned negative. Then we returned with sapphires and rubies. What a find you did, and we're proud of your hard work and video work in such high quality. Good luck with your gold prospecting! Wendi ETA: Is there red Spinel where you worked?
Watching from Philippines. God bless
Beautiful
Hutan nya indah masih alami ,nyimak Vidio 👍
was just wondering that maybe using a uv blacklight can make finding some of those stones easier. might be an idea to give that a try on the stones you have to see if any light up under a uv light.
Alhamdulillah 🤲🏻 quite satisfactory results
