@Triphid You would miss him far too much. There would be no one to laugh at. I think you should write a coffee table book.

Been trying for years to invent a spray similar to Areo-guard that can be used to keep that kind away like Aero-guard does with flies, etc.

@Triphid Just use the aero-guard and a lighter.

@oldFloyd Never thought of that, thank you for suggesting it.

@Triphid I use raid, works great on JW's

Holler at me & I will meet you there! Hub has promised for 23 years to take me.

They do find, on rare occasions, diamonds in the local Mines BUT they are very rare and mostly Industrial Grade ones.
Geologists think that Broken Hill was once, many millions of years ago, an Underwater volcano but erosion from the shallow sea, etc, has worn away about 90+% of the origin volcano leaving only the Volcanic Plugs remaining intact, these are known as the 3 Pinnacles that are still very visible about 5-6 miles S.W. of town.
Though we do get high grade Garnets around here and the 3 original Mines used to produce approx. 10-15 kilos of gold between them from the late 50's to the early 90's on an average of every 4-6 months, , but seemingly, no longer these days.

Been there, It is not anything like you would expect, plus raw diamonds don't look anything like what you would expect. It is a good one day trip. But even though they find diamonds on a regular basis, it is well worked ground.

A Dead-set Winner by at least 20+ lengths imo.
