Martin is a third generation gemstone prospector and craftsman who’s carrying on the family legacy of respectfully recovering the Australian landscape’s most beautiful gems and minerals. His passion for the landscape, deep knowledge of the geology, and ability to turn his hand to anything that needs fixing, has made him a legendary figure in the global rock hound community and one of the last true prospecting bushman with a heart of gold.

Mick, Martin’s cousin and right-hand man. They’ve grown up together in the bush and have an almost mystical ability to communicate without saying a word. Mick is the wizard of the big toys, with a sixth sense for manoeuvring the mightiest machines in the most challenging outback situations.

Mama Sox, Martin’s mother, is an integral part of the Rock Hounds crew and has been the real boss behind the scenes over her lifetime supporting family expeditions. She’s not only the friendly face of the family gem business, but also captain of the kitchen at Aussie Rock Hounds HQ.
