hey, thanks for the warm welcome! ive been a guest on this website and saw that you were a friendly mob. look forawrd to talking soon. im really lucky to have a lovely lady who loves looking for pretty stones and gold as well. in january i have a month by myswlf and i plan on spending as much as possible in the bush looking for the yellow stuff. if anyone along the nsw east coast is looking for an adventure buddy or wants to come, lets talk. id love the opportunity to go with some experienced diggers and see what ya do and where you look etc any hints and tips. the last coupla days were seeing how i enjoyed it, i loved it. the hourly rate doesnt work out to good but when youre 30 and retired you got all the time in te world! once again thanks for the warm welcome and look forward to chatting.
