You live in a land filled with beauty, gold, gemstones, and hopefully a few Tasmanian tigers who have learned to avoid people!

Levi, Beautiful sapphires, wonderful color and a great adventure. In Poland, we recommend using a hand pump made of PVC pipe to extract gravel from gaps between large stones. It draws several liters of gravel from the bottom, which we immediately throw into the sieves. The slots are cleared to 0 and we don't have to dive. A shovel is of no use between such boulders. Good luck, maybe see you someday. Greetings from Polish Gold Prospectors

Here in British Columbia we just call those hand dredges, work awesome tho and greetings from Canada id love to visit Poland my great grandma came from Warsaw

Tasmania has it all, gold and gems. You enjoy both. Great video

Love the gold, but gems are a bloody beautiful thing to find. Rare around my creeks , but have found garnets, sapphires, zircons. As well as gold around Creswick. My wife and I had a fantastic couple of days at Billabong Blue Sapphire Park. It's a farm/campground/working Sapphire mine (1 of 2 left) just out of Inverell NSW. Fantastic place , camping, + fossicking for a fee less than a camp site at a caravan park. Well worth a visit. If you ever get the chance. Loved this episode, Levi. You rock! 😂 Cheers Andy

Pretty blue… watching now 💙

Beautiful stone Levi. Thanks for the adventure. Sapphires are my favourite stones to cut.

Gotta love how Des just eats his as he finds them. Too funny. Cool trip!

Great vid. Levi and Des.

Love your Vidio.. greeting from Indonesian traditional gold Prospecting 🇮🇩⚒️⛏️💎👍👍

Excellent sharing Levi & Des , enjoyed watching all the way to the end. Thanks for sharing your hard work with us. Beautiful Gems for sure 👍👊✌️🏆🇺🇸⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️ 8:20 WOW

Love the gold but the gemstone adventures are my favourites, thanks so much for showing us this advenure Levi & Des!

a small trick from my side of the world...we pack 4 or 5 canvas pouches that will attach to your belt and fill them with magnetite/iron stone when we get on location...makes a very light dive belt to pack...love this channel...wish we had gold as big as yours...

Well done another new and entertaining adventure with some very nice results 👏🏻👏🏻❤️💙

Thanks for sharing my friend. Almost 200k let me be the first to congratulate you. Great job

That was really cool. I learned something new. Thanks Levi and Des.

Moved to the area for the stones!! Love this guy

Haha I'm a tad obsessed

It’s my birthstone so naturally I find them fascinating and I’ve learned a ton about them from watching “Tim’s adventures” on KZread he’s in rubyvale australia and mines them underground. Was very excited to see you hunting them again it’s definitely a harder type of prospecting and takes time to understand the deposition of sapphires but once you do you’ll find heaps of them the best place to find them is where there are large groups and concentrations of watermelon to wheelbarrow size rocks near bedrock in area where floods won’t wipe the bedrock clean. Their specific gravity is 3.95-4..03 so they don’t drop out as easily as gold and won’t necessarily be in the same drop zones as gold is much heavier so finding those drop zones takes some practice. Really enjoyed this bit with Des and that one you found is a BEAUTY🤩 well done and thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼

So you are not allowed to sell your tasmanian gold, because england could claim it. But it is allowed to sell gemstones? Des is a really cool and genuine guy. I like him :) Awesome video as usual!

That is my birth stone . Bad ass day i do appreciate your time . Blessings sir.

Cheers Levi, it's always good to push yourself into something outside your comfort zone.

I'm with you Levi.... the magic does happen underwater ..... Half way through watching and the Mrs starts pricing plane tickets to Tas!! Love your adventures mate

I love prospecting\fossicking ,it opens up the hunt ,,, well done great video, love that ya mixing it up

Just here to say I’d watch gemstone videos just as much as gold videos. I’m almost MORE into it!

Wow what an abundant place we live in,the country is beautiful,and the jemmy stones gorgeous, thanks for the great adventure,best wishes to you both cheers the old lenahvalley boys. ❤

I love Sapphires! It is so nice to see you find some!

Keep them coming I watch them over and over if I can I always get more info each time Keep the faith my friend

Just a little tip levi, take your sieves or a bucket down with you and fill it up instead of bringing up handfulls at a time. Nice work as usual mate 👌

What a great video man keep up the amazing work 👍👍👍

Its kinda like gold they stand out and have a proud color. I can see them in the pan right before you grab them. I just read that 0.5 carats cut can sell for 600$? Wow imagine needing two of those for a set.

Your videos are always good but this one was exceptional. I love the color of those stones.Keep up the good work Levi.

Another Great Video. I'm surprised to see what's hiding in Tasmanian rivers. Thanks for showing us.

Des is a legend aye bro you both did pretty well gotta be happy with that hope ya well cheers

Well done Levi your good wife will enjoy wearing those. You sure like that water. An ideal area to search for sapphires. Glad you did okay.

It's good to see that you are still making videos, sincerely Wes Troglia

Love this channel. So enjoyable. Watching from the Huon. ❤

This was a different animal. I kept looking for nuggies. Very different point of view.

Hello Levi, just wanted to thank you for sharing your adventures. Really enjoy watching you snipe for gold in Taz. I'm located in the Georgetown area of the motherload in California. Come visit, camp and snipe on my remote claim. Short season, June thru Sept. Good Gold.

I love everything about this channel brother! 👁️👍🔔😎

How are you doing uncle

Awesome stuff. At first, I thought he was eating the sapphires haha

Cool video nicely done chaps 😎👌

Way cool adventure! Your definitely living the life.

I find flat bottom sieves don't really cut it. Use a large diameter kitchen sieve with a decent bowl to it ..concentrates the heaviest much better,

@desgray5420

If you use a see-saw motion it will concentrate them to the corner of the sieves

Long slowish circles concentrates large to the centre, long slowish up and down concentrates heavy to the bottom Short circular pitching gathers small to top centre for evac.

Don’t sapphires fluoresce when you apply UV light? Imagine shining a UV light underwater and watching them all glow like Christmas lights

Well done guys. Cheers Famo59

Hi Levi, don't forget there are also blue spinels as well as blue zircons. I have a few to make up. They're gorgeous. I must admit l haven't been well enough to get on the jewellery bench lately. Keep hunting Levi. Oh, l meant to tell you that sapphire is my birth stone.

Nice Levi something different very cool finds

great vid

Top video Levi, I will start researching where sapphires are to be found in our part of the country. Cheers from Michael. Australia.

Yet another reason for me to go to the creek!! Did you get any gold as well??

Just beautiful 🎉🎉

Good stuff.

Awesome ❤

Awesome 👊

Fun trip mate

The blue jelly bean at the end was nice! Do you think you’ll cut it for jewellery, you have plenty gold to make a nice piece for your other half 🙌

Levi, I think the lovely Louise deserves a nice Tassie Sapphire ring!

Very nice

No sapphires around her, but I get pretty jazzed finding blue beach glass! :D

I was just watching your video from about a year ago hunting for gemstones funny you would post a video a day after.

Still watching here in the Philippines,,

Very interesting

Cool!

Very good

cool video Levi, a nice change of pace from gold to gems! I do wonder though how you can distinguish between a pale sapphire and a pale topaz for example...how does one tell them apart when the colours aren't so prominent? cheers

Lak 👍👏👏 Boa tarde amigo Deus abençoa você e sua família. Mas que pedra linda! Gósto muito de pedras lindas. Parabéns amigo Deus te abençoe sempre 🙏🏻

Make my day!!!

Ghost peppers are awesome

Any cornflower blue saphires show up?

Oh you lucky bugger lol, such an awesome colour buddy, better hide that one from the missus she's already got a ring hehehe. You'll have to cut this one for a matching necklace set in gold and osmiridium I reckon would look awesome.

A gem quality Zircon cut can give more brilliance than a Diamond 👍

Great video Levi are those red zirconia's worth anything?

Great vid mate, what I want to know is did you find yourself looking for gold while sniping for gems?

@officialtassieboysprospecting

I’ve been to this river a few times now and when I first went yes I certainly had my eyes looking about but not now it’s geology is way way different to gold bearing ground

my first thought was why doesnt he just put the sieve next to the material under the water and then you did it :)

Levi, can you recommend any torches? Gone through a couple, seems to be hit & miss.

That was enjoyable Levi. Side note be careful trying anything with a scary name. Ghost pepper no thanks.

Very interesting. I've sniped well over 50 pounds of gold yet never a gemstone. I can see sniping clay layers for gems if the stream is gem rich.

Really nice videos, just a curiosity, what about the price of the best finds would be? Anyone got an idea? Gold i know but saphire dont have a clue

This crazy Stone at 24:00 ist maybe an meteorite
