This might answer your thought. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-05-20/coronavirus-lockdown-leaves-tourists-stranded-in-australia/12265658

The good spots are under water now after all that rain at Copeton, Stannifer is still good, some areas are closed but still plenty to be found if you look, just got to dig deeper,

Plate of crystal came out last week, was looking for something else, nice surprise. :gemstone: :pickshovel:

Complete waste of time putting any type of glue to secure your handle. I make my own similar to bluejeans, but i cut a slit about 3 mil wide the length of the pipe the handle goes into, the handle diameter is bigger than the diameter of the pipe, as the handle goes into the pipe it expands...

Great work as usual, reminded me of this one i saw the other day while googling :Y:

Out and about today, this little bloke pointed me in the right direction and picked up a nice tin crystal.

This will show you a few tips. My shaft was square through solid rock, so a bit different in set up, i used rock bolts to secure the ladder. good luck. https://www.dnrme.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0008/1465523/opal-gem-miner-handbook.pdf

Stay tuned , have got a few ideas, like reshaping some of the larger water worn crystals i have found, i'll either stuff em or they will look spectacular with a led light underneath them, mounted on a carved bit of wood. Some I've found have feldspar and iron inclusions which are highlighted...

Cleaned up well, thanks Ken, :Y:

I know who you mean, you could be right, a lot of names been thrown around at the moment. One popular spot i haven't been to for a few months i visited two days ago, mother nature has started her work and in a couple more months you won't know anyone had been digging there. This spot is the...
