Its been something of wanted to try for a very longtime, sniping for sapphires and gemstones. Looking online I couldn't see anything or anyone trying this method to fossick for gemstones so I thought what an awesome opportunity to try it out and see if it works. Sure enough it does and I was able to find an array of sapphires, topaz and zircons. I hope you enjoy.

Looks like you and the Family had a lovely day. Next time your going to do a bit of Mineral sniping, bring an UV torch with you. Topaz will pop out with golden-yellow's as well as the Zircon's which have a more mustard brown glow. Really helps narrow in on patches too. Cheers, love your episodes!

Nice! Very beautiful stones! Now let's get back on the gold because nothing in that river is prettier than the yellowstone. Lol when I go up to dig in the mountains I dredge or sluice. When I dig I dig into a half 55 gal. Plastic barrel cut in half the long way with a rope weaved thru to pull it with over to my box. I usually run 7 to 10 half barrels thru my box each day. Would love to see you pick a good spot to dig and run a sluice out there. Thanks for the videos and good luck to you Levi! Joe gold

Gold prospecting is very therapeutic for me specially when striking a good nugget size. But gem hunting is somehow frustrating at some point as getting a gem quality stone is hard, I would usually find minute or a lot with inclusions on it. Sometimes, I end up catching crabs instead 😂

P.S. As a suggestion > Try using a wooden frame with a 1/4 " mesh screen on bottom, add stones and hold overhead to sunlight ! Very easy to reach up and pluck out the gemstones ! Simple but effective! Best ! Grandpa Ron😊

Awesome bro! Never thought that would work but actually does, and some amazing results! I think there might be a spot that would be really good for gemstones here in NZ, its got an incredible mix of geolgy and when gold prospecting has about 9 different colours and types of blacksand ranging from brown-black-silver and an insane amount of red garnets of different sizes and some very almost gem like looking material, just not sure if it has any actual good gems as I am currently pretty useless at reconizging them. Keep up the great content!

Hi, I love your videos, and they are really helping me get an idea of how to start fossicking in the Weld River area.

We love finding gemstones although our prospecting takes away from our home, across the sea to a place we staked a claim on common ground, to a remote island. So excited, but so tired and we caught covid, only just turned negative. Then we returned with sapphires and rubies. What a find you did, and we're proud of your hard work and video work in such high quality. Good luck with your gold prospecting! Wendi ETA: Is there red Spinel where you worked?

Hi mate, watched this video while enjoying my coffee and breakfast today. I am slowly working my way through your channel as I find it really enjoyable. I take a lot of satisfaction with the beautiful locations, the drone shots and you hoovering up those tiny gem stones. Can I ask what you do with the gems and gold you find, do you sell it to cover the costs of your expeditions? What you do is brilliant and I look forward to watching another of your videos soon.

i make a lot more on agates, jade and sapphires than i ever have on gold, i've found a few nice benches but nothing earth shattering. my favorite place to look is where they're dredging, they don't give a hoot about a 500 dollar hunk of jade, they pass it right up, its just a green rock to them
