Hahah, cheers Moneybox, it only took a couple of flecks of gold in an old tin pan about a year ago for full blown gold fever to set in...
Now at least 4 pans, 2 sieves, 2 sluices, pump, buckets, diggers etc reside in the shed. Prospecting equipment seems to breed like rabbits, maybe if I put all the gear in a room and play Barry White or something I might get a gpx out of the mix
My goal is to get enough yellow to make a couple of rings, hopefully with the detector it might speed things up, although it might also slow me down as I have only been researching information relevant to what I have been doing, so a big learning curve is ahead I presume .
