Great content mate. Any Northland trips planned?
@NewZealandRocksDownunder 7 күн бұрын
I've got mokos way up north but travel can be challenging. It's on the cards one day I want to fossick Cooper's Beach. The other properties we once had access to out of Dargaville have been sold with the new owners are not wanting people wandering around their farm.

If they don't want you to stop why would they slash your tyres? Sounds kinda... moronic.

I guess putting up with decades of people stealing your stuff some may be a bit upset with it apparently continuing. I mostly certainly do not condone that extreme action but do understand

I've found some amazing pounamu in various places near hokitika. if its grainy, it green quartz. most of what you found was serpentine. Take a knife. if you can cut the stone, its not nephrite jade. traditionally you rub it on your face to get some oil on it to check it out.

So glad I stumbled across this, I really enjoyed it and have subscribed so I can learn more. I'm always picking up rocks 😅 I just like them. I went to Gem stone Beach a few years ago but alas it was a howling Southerly, 2 box trucks were blown over heading out to Bluff so yeah far from hospitable 😂😂😂 Maybe I'll get back down there one-day when I have a few days to while away. In the mean time I'm busy walking the Northern West coast beaches with my faithful hound 😊

I always go back for a look when I’m in the south, you never know what you might find. Not telling where the Ruby sand deposit is though! JohnnyZ
