Was just panning to get a little better and to my surprise i found these. Are they sapphire or just a cool other kind of gem?

Welcome to tnet!

If it was found in the Helena down to the Virigina City area it may very well be a sapphire. You may want to take it to a reputible jeweler and have it tested.

Yeah close. About halfway between butte and dillon
