Stumbled across Des while we were fossicking for our first time. So knowledgeable and friendly. Top bloke!

Man your cinematography is stunning! Every video has the most beautiful shots of the gorgeous Tasmanian nature. Like at 5:45 that is just unreal! Gems and gold are just the icing on the cake! Keep it up Rob!

Great video again Rob, fabulous cinematography, Des was very knowledgeable and luckily for you a pretty handy catch!

Another good watch. Short and sweet

That was fun to watch. Good thing you friend has good hands an caught the stone you threw at him!

My suggestion would be to drop your rock on a tarp so you can dump it back in the water. Those sweet little mossy banks would appreciate it. Cool video!

I'm moving to Tasmania in a few month's..I don't do what you guy's do but looking at the streams and nature is making me even more excited. Beautiful! I never been there .

Man I remember the fun sapphire hunting up out past Tamworth and also out past Glen innes sometimes in the pouring rain. I have to say your location is much more picturesque. I think I'm going to get back into again!

What beautiful NE country. So wish my Dad, originally from the NE., was alive to see all this. He dabbled in fossicking, but was a fly Fisher to the bone.

well young fella, best not to toss sapphires around in the scrub. pleased your mate was a good cricketer. Those sapphires look like cutting into a nice light blue colour. What a fun game. I hoped you kept the zircon. they look good in a vial.

good find shaphire brother❤

You got spoiled with the spots congrats mate nice specie

Perfect timing Rob. I'm so bored right now. Well not anymore

Stunning locations 😍 The larger stream with the cascading waterfalls is beautiful. How lucky you are, to live in such a beautiful part of the world. 👍🙂

G'day Mate! Your videos are fantastic! The nature is beautiful and I dig (get it ?)how you just jump in and go to town. Keep up the great work. It makes me want to dig up my backyard looking for treasures.

Amazing stuff Rob... was already in awe of the beauty of Tassie, but in awe just as much that there's gems and sapphires hidden away in her creeks and rivers. Awesome stuff Mate. Cheers! 😎

Looked like a beautiful place to spend the day. Getting to find your own treasure makes it all the better. Thats why I spend a lot of time in the woods looking for artifacts of ancient man. This was another great video Rob.👍

I don't know what made youtube suggest this channel. But this is so much better than those tv shows about gold. It was like big business cutting down huge areas of land with huge machines. This is calming, and you are just finding nature. I subscribed! Love the intelligence, the accent, personality, and the calmingness of how you go about it! Thank you for being you and being here to share it with us!

Nice I’ve done a little gem stone searching in North Queensland so much fun

Hi Rob, such choice spots to fossick. My family had a lease near Rubyvale in Qld. Mainly dark stones there. The light stones you found are brilliant. They will look amazing cut. Good work brother.

Fantastic work Rob, your productions are a gem in their own right 😊

A very beautiful wilderness area you were in Rob, with your mate Des. I have not been to the North-East of Tasmania that much Rob, the river and the bush looked awesome so did the gems particular the Sapphire's. Keep the Videos coming best of luck......Pete from Devonport...🍎🤠😎🛻⛏

Another terrific video Rob! Love your work very inspirational

Can't believe you THREW that huge Sapphire!!

Beautiful stuff as usual mate, great editing and the drone footage is 👌cheers 🍻

Great cinematography Rob 👍🏻 loved the music!! Congrats on a great gemstone adventure!

Yep, that sapphire will look great ! 🙂

Tasmanian NE is stunning. You captured the beauty so well. I wanted to be there so badly. Great work on the gem finds!

Good job fellas 👍🏻

Thanks guys, great filming

Well done mate, awesome video Rob. That country is amazing!

I love the fossicking videos.

Mate! The scenery is stunning. What a way to spend a day!! 👍🏻

Bloody brilliant mate.

Very nice Blu Haul!!

Thanks

the vid grand the music FING HELL !

The whistle in the background was just so heart warming❤❤

WOWzers the landscape it Amazing

Absolutely dank ❤️

you actually live in paradise

Your gems just keep giving Rob :)

Great vid Rob, love the quirky ball cluster of saphires, funny that you threw it away in one sense, glad you got to keep it, very unusual piece , good job !

Thanks again Rob for the interesting video. I've just got back to Qld from 2 weeks in Tassie. Quite cold but as usual brilliant scenery and the freshest air.

Thanks!

Beautiful stones

Interesting stuff. My father used to head out to Sapphire/Rubyvale/Anakie way to fossick years ago. I ended up with hundreds of point-size gems but have never had the heart to part with them. Got no idea what they're worth but there's about half a kilo of stones of different colours in the collection. They're all anywhere from 2mm to 4mm across. Yellows, Blues, some red stones and some tiny Stars. I should get them valued one day...

Wicked in every way curly the tune had me cackling to goodonya bro cheers

Looks like land of the lost lol lush and that moss oh my gosh! How fun to prospect there.

How beautiful is that!?!?! Thank you God!!!

This is such a beautiful location and your drone shots did it such justice. Great placement from the river as well and getting different perspectives with your gloves to show scale. I live in an area with geography like this, but much colder and no real precious stones in the area. We search for agates and chalcedony, quartz and maybe jasper or jade if we are lucky enough to find any of decent quality, so videos like this are a real treat. I cant afford to visit these other places, but just knowing that other people are experiencing that magic of discovery and geological history is such a great feeling. Especially when it is shot professionally in good weather and settings haha. Only thing i would change is maybe switch the music more often or lower the volume altogether letting the ambient noises take the stage. They can be very soothing out there and double as ASMR videos and give you a whole new demographic of viewers. Wishing you all the success and luck finding the best specimens in your future adventures! Stay safe out there :)

I call the far North Queensland tropical rainforest 'Home'. However, the Tasmanian Temperate rainforests are absolutely stunning. I can't do cold weather so I doubt I'll ever get down there to experience it myself, so videos like this allow me to enjoy it without my toes freezing off.

Great work Rob. Good looking snake country!. I’ve been watching Levi and your prospecting videos and I really need to figure out how to prospect having been to many of these places for work.

absolutely wonderful. Thank you

love your work mate. You should have been whistling on that rock in the opening scene! :)

Sapphire is so interesting as I comes in lots of different colours, pink apricot, yellow, blue , green ad the list goes on …… nice finds boys

in the Philippines we only use that stone as a bullet for slingshot.

Another beautiful video, man you live in a beautiful place! Thanks Rob!

Just keeps gettin better and better 👍

Love treasure hunting. From sea shells to sapphires. If it's pretty, it's a great find(: Awesome video Rob!

Lovely stones, Rob 👍🏼

Couple cool bits. Cant wait to see your finished bit of bling

Some cool little pieces mate, looks like a beauty of a place!

Bless you both are my Nature lover❤❤❤❤❤🇮🇳

Brilliant.

Untouched nature. Beautiful

I'm disappointed I half expected you to be whistling on that rock at the start Rob 😂 great vid. That scenery was stunning too

Take me with you for digging a stones ❤ i never been ever for a digging like this 🥺 its so amazing when u find something 😊

Nice one Rob! Think you smashed the music too, the whistling rather suits the lonely nature of your expeditions. Nice stones, doesn't look quite as painful as sniping, interested to see if you are able to do anything with your finds. Keep safe!

Good music and just the right amount of scenery included. God tassie's stunning!

Hey there - I just love to watch the beauty of the Country you live in - *hammergeil.. by looking at the plants I always wart for a dinosaur coming arround the corner 😂 Now a more „economical“ question: In comparison to the gold you have found - what are these stones worth after Treatment/ cutting/ polishing? Cheers and greetings from germany-bavaria 😊

Que tal amigo, es la primera vez que te escribo y vaya quede impresionado por el gran paisaje que te rodea, en verdad todo esta hermoso, te saludo desde Puebla, México.... un abrazo

Y'all are the first to have seen them amazing cluster stone . Seek and ye shall fine .

from white to Ceylon blue nice

Loved the video

Fantástic, show

Wow what a epic day of sapphire hunting, that 20 carat one was one for the record books

Good memories I pulled out as perfect ilmenite crystal from the ringarooma

Some nice color for sure!

Congrats on the wedding mate

Another great video, fabulous shots! I love the music too. Nothing like whistling & so rarely done. Who is it, Rob?

Nice vid Rob, I do love watching you guys and all the different prospecting you put out, very entertaining. Thanks Salty Dingo 69

Your mate Levi sent me! Cheers and much prosperity with the channel Rob!

Great stuff. Thank you. Andy

I type this from Coober Pedy where I’ve spent the morning scratching around the moonscape for opal with very limited success. The landscape here could not be more different! Loved your video as always and looking forward to returning home to QLD to see some green grass and trees 👍🏼

subscribed from Tassie boys but would have anyway if I had found your channel. Magnificent photography....congrats on your wedding. Cheers buddy!!

Nice one Rob...

Cutting, that's the thing. To find them then get them cut instead of storing them up for years LOL (like lazy me). Once again beautiful location.

Amazing country 👍

It seems like everywhere you look in Tasmania is a windows desktop wallpaper lol

Yo that specimen is siiick!

I heard we have a 10000 year old dead huon pine tree growing up the side of a mountain somewhere in tasmania. That would be cool to see. Heard it on the news many year ago. Love the footage.

Super kamyczki 😁pozdrowienia z polski🙋‍♂️

Absolutely beautiful video and production👍, New Subscriber's and we hit the bell, looking forward to seeing more 🤗 Cheers 🍺🍺🍺🍺KC Cradle Mountain Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🤝🇦🇺🇦🇺😎👍

Hi Rob! Congratulations on your marriage. From Northern California. JJ I subscribe, I learned about your channel from Levi, I was very impressed in your video The Hunt for stannards grave

Good stuff once again mate Just one thing do you or other prospectors for gems leave their waste pans on the banks or rake them back in

My fav stone aquired is a baby blue Cambodian zircon 3½ ct with Sapphires accents!( Hey beautiful ice blue sapphire!) Look like my Brazilian aquamarine 1½ gem i won dollar game 13$ cc fee and shipping cant beat that at a 100-250$ price market ive a 12x12 box topped my my rocks mostly (tanzanite ,grandidierite) love agua blue seafoam 6 ct kyonite beauty 11ct African cush cut Ruby

I've been wanting to give this a go for a while now. Just haven't bitten the bullet and bought the gear. Plus I was pretty worried the rivers would have been sieved dry by now too.

Watching from NZ
