Sniping vs sieves, which technique will find the Sapphires?

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

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

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

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!

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

I absolutely love Sapphires. By far my favorite gem. Great Video as always.

Great vid. Levi and Des.

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!

It’s my birthstone so naturally I find them fascinating and I’ve learned a ton about them from watching “Tim’s adventures” on YouTube 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👍🏼👊🏼

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...

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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