GGT Dec 12

[Wwoofa]

The latest Gold, Gem & Treasure mag has some interesting articles ....

> Mookaite mining - lots of pics
> History of the Hillgrove Gold Mines (near Armidale)
> Lightning Ridge - by (ALFer) Patrick O'Brien
> Coober Pedy Opal mining

Excerpt from the Townsville Daily Bulletin 20th June, 1952 ... a man found the "Golden Willow" sapphire at the Willows (CQ).  It was a perfectly clear yellow sapphire with a small dark green area on one side.  It weighed over 300cts and was described as the finest yellow sapphire ever found in Australia.  The owner slept with a loaded rifle by his side.  I wonder where it is now??

I also noticed that you can now get back-copies of GGT from Sep 2006 onwards in PDF format for $2.95 each.

Always envious of you Wwoofa, you get your GGT days ahead of me!!! Don't know why we cant get the simultaneosly, especially when I'm only 100km from Melbourne. 

Look forward to reading the articles.

[Wwoofa]

I think the publisher is somewhere quite close by ... Maybe that helps?

[mehoose]

That issue sounds like a good read.
Hey Wwoofa, a bow tie wouldn't be out of place but when do we get to see more? 

[Wwoofa]

Hey Mehoose,
Your comments lately seem to be a cryptic?  What would you like to see more of and where do you suggest I put the bow tie

[mehoose]

LOL, well, it takes a while before I notice these things, cos balls/spheres aren't my forte as you well know. BUT..bad word to start a sentence with .... BUT, everyone is sprouting balls in here lately under their Av's so I've been having a play, pushing on the balls, correct terminology is clicking on links but when you have the handle of Wwoofa a 'ball' seems apt and when playing with your particular ball there is a super cuteness that is revealed but that's all I see. You do mention more pics etc so I was just suggesting ideas seeing as no other items were forthcoming and did I mention I've finally given up smoking this past fortnight which could have a bearing on why comments have been so random lately and the drugs used were rather mind altering... I think.....

[mehoose]

therefor I am... hey, lookit, it's only a month till chrissy 

[Wwoofa]

I see Merryn ... I'll add some more pics etc when I get some time.   That "woofer" is the original and it's why I chose my user name (after he passed away).  Congrats on giving up the death sticks ... I know it's tough but keep it up ... it's really worth it
Regards, Paul

I think mehoose has lost the plot, her ramblings on this thread dont make any sense, completely off topic!
It's a pity really as ramblings like that don't add anything to a forum.

GGT finally arrived - yahoo!  AND ... with four (yes four) articles relating to Gems (usually gems rate a little poorly with most articles relating to gold. Se well done GGT for adding more articles that interest us 'rock hounds'  . Can't wait to dive into the articles, the only problem is I will finish them all the first night and will have to wait a whole month for the next offerings.

I gave up smoking too since the missus chucked a bucket of water over me. 

[Wwoofa]

You might be able to tell I'm an ex-smoker ...
