I'd be weary of any information that you get off abalone divers. They are a different breed. 😅

Thanks mate. So much time on the hookah you start seeing gold in the ocean you rekon! Well abalone and gold about the same. Hope ya did some more good on the sapphires! I’m def more addicted to them of late
@shanebabington134210 сағат бұрын
@FollowingABrokenCompass there would be so much gold in the ocean. Gold bearing rivers ran to the continental shelf 18000 years ago. Places like Montreal Gold field at Bermagui is a perfect example, they mined all the way to the low tide mark and were still getting Gold.

@FollowingABrokenCompass and yes, I did good on the sapphires and can't stop thinking about the bloody things now. I can't wait to get back up your way.

Now as an adult I’ve just got back into crystals and living in Tassie been a blast but yea need to get back to WA to find that 1 amethyst that has my name on it 🤙

Hey, like I have said in my videos. I love these spots and every spot can be someone’s favourite spot in the world. If you have been to locations you can’t figure out where it is but I don’t like to name drop. It’s half the fun finding spots and I don’t want to ruin it for people. Sorry but my lips are sealed- most rivers on the dividing range have gold so there is allot to chose from and start exploring. Hope I don’t seem rude, and appreciate your comment :) happy hunting
