Gemtree is a nice little spot. They have garnets, which look just like rubies but aren't worth much, and zircons, which look just like diamonds but aren't worth too much. We scored 4 3mm stones and a 4mm. The big one would have been a 7mm, but it's got a crack, so it will be a 4mm and a 3mm.
We're getting two sets of earings done up, and a pendant with the stones we found. Another lady showed us her large 2.5 odd caret zircon twinkling in the light, pretty much like a diamond. Apparently, they're very easy to find. Boys got sick of fossicking after about an hour, and hung around an old couple's two dogs instead. Got firewood, made a great fire.
Panning for garnet.
Everyone got involved.
After chopping firewood, got blisters.
An awesome fire!
