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.

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!

    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

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.

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.

    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?
