New member from the Inverell, NSW area

[mitch.milne]

Hi all. Mitch is my name. I am new to fossicking and only been a handful of times. I have found a small number of stones so far. Apparently I live in one of the best areas for sapphires and zircon, Inverell, New England NSW.

Love to find a fossicking partner.

Can anyone help me out with some good fossicking locations around my area?

Looking forward to meeting some new people.

Welcome!

See if there's a local lapidary club in your area, joining one can be a great way to find out local fossicking areas and even gain access to some areas if your lucky enough.
