    They are nice specimens you have there.
    Do you find each time you have a dig?
    What a life hey? Does your father do it hard, or is he set up with some mod cons?
    I imagine their would be a few old landrovers out there.
    One day i will get out there, maybe strike it lucky

    My grandad was very heavily into it, and fairly well known in gem clubs around googe's way too.
    I've got a bucket full of various stuff he's cut over the year's sitting right here.

    Used to go out with the folks and grand folks to agate creek, emerald (QLD) and many other places I was too young to remember.
