the day i stop prospecting

[LC76]

and im not the guy to name and shame either if i wanted to i would have allready done it

You obviously wanted to talk about it though.
So cmon HTY open up and see if we can help.

Or what's the point of this thread?

Once in a while you need to sit back and take a breather and look at the way life is and who you choose to involve into it.

Tough times call for tough decisions, and I think HTY is summing it all up.

The point of the thread is:

well lets put it this way when you get burned over 3 times you just wanta to 2 things 1 go and raid there spots or 2 give up and im not the type of guy to do number 1 maybe time will fix things or maybe not because ive had a lot going on at the moment and yes you can call it a hissy fit or cry baby or grow up but let me tell you something when you get a broken leg go walk it off then let me know how you feel after wards from it

The trouble with an eye for an eye type thinking is all you are going to end up with is A lot of Blind People, lol.

Ya know people are dying all over the world, So really this is just A Minor Glitch,

If you don't want to name and shame them, Or do anything about it, Then whats the point In Giving up detecting, Then you are just leaving more for them to find,

So just go and find a place with bigger Nuggets and more of them, and move On, Who are you hurting by Give up, No One Just Your Self, It does not effect him One Bit, So you might as well get Over It and Move On,

As Much as I dislike people like that, I'LL be buggered if I would let them Beat me and take away something I enjoy, What You should be doing Is Getting out there and Gridding the Place From Dawn til Dusk, And not leave a scrap of Gold In the Place, Bugger that. If he wants it that Bad I would make the Bugger work for It.

Well.. I just went to go and dig in my usual spot and guess what.. the bloke who knew nothing at all about prospecting until he gathered what info he needed to from me over the months has decided to go and dig up right in my hole again. He is there now. I taught him everything he knows and he goes and digs in my friggin hole at a creek I showed him. All because he's cracked it at me for digging with other people instead of him. This is what I get in return for helping someone, giving tips so they don't make the same mistakes I had to make it easier on them...etc. I've just about had it as well. Whats the point in helping when you get screwed in the behind no matter who it is.

4 times in just 6 months I've been done over. All because I want someone by my side digging with me so I feel safe and also for another yo experience it all too. Why? Is all I ask. Are you soo stupid you can't even find your own hole to dig in?? Not even 10 meters away from where I dig..in my bloody hole..that I showed you.

Its not the fact of him digging gold, I couldn't care less about it..but using the info that I taught him to steal from me over jealousy...anyone is capable of doing that imo and my trust string isn't far away from snapping so I'm the only one holding my bit of string.

You will never be able to find gold and its why you dig in my hole. I know exactly where you will be digging next week because i can read you like a book.

..good place to yell at people..thnx HTY but man.... as I said I know your pain but I think my so called mates just want to hurt and offend rather than take my gold

 

[bushpig]

With friends like that hey. People like this always get what they deserve in my opinion.

 

[G0lddigg@]

feel ya brother... been there... some people just want the gold and some just cant be lerned i distance myself from these people and try to only dig with people who i would invite into my home.

 

[AtomRat]

Well karma usually has come back and hit him in some way but like I said, this time its intentional to affect me so that it escillades to a harsh matter, which is a game I'm not going to play with him because it what he wants. He would love to punch me in the face just because he is that type of guy and if he does I will happily have him charged if he wants to risk all of that, I know his wife wouldn't be happy if he had to go to court..

His jeoulosy is getting the best of him and is a classic example of gold induced insanity. He is digging somewhere that has been turned over several times expecting morregold somehow...i was just going to test out my gear for the day but because I'm there all the time he recons there must be good gold.. Luckily I was smart enough to only show him spots that everyone has access to easily.

It will be a phase. Its probably the 8th time he has copied me with a hobby and always had a competition or wants to be better always.. I guess in his mind, I am the dumb one.

I can't get over that, trust is gold and to loose some ones trust or be thought poorly of would do me in, just don't get it, what sort of world are we living in

 

[SCROUNGER]

***** Atom, take care mate, sounds like he's a few loose to me. Take care buddy.

Your not wrong there, and a lot is not his fault either ( there are reasons ) and I can guarantee I'm not the only friend his lost over his personality or actually mostly greed ( the stories go.. ) but it is unfair to turn it around and do what he is doing over absolutely nothing which seems common for him.

I 'was' one of the only people who got along with him and understood him, but he certainly needs help from someone else, not me anymore. I taught him a lot of things to keep his mind occupied to stop him being depressed but he swings it around and makes you depressed so he feels better and I'm over it..I've known many people like it my whole life.

Can't I just have someone to dig with that isn't going to screw me over at some point or do I really have to become a lonesome grumpy but richprospector??

 

[SCROUNGER]

Maybe, as GD said, we just need to be a bit more careful with who we prospect with. I think this probably applies to all of us. I think you can generally get a fix on a person reasonably quickly but i'm too friendly with help sometimes as well.
The other day i ran into a bloke i'd seen out in the scrub a few times and he seemed ok during our chats etc. I eventually showed him an area where he could pick up some gold (detecting) that i'd been working and l left him to it and went home. I went back late the next arvo and the place looked like a battleground of holes and scrapes everywhere!!! I've only got myself to blame suppose but it is a bit disappointing.

 

[SCROUNGER]

Now you've said you'll be a rich prospector, everybody will want to be your friend Atom :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yeah DO IT HTY.... and I will get in and HELP YOU (if invited).......FREE!!!!! We could work in shifts around the clock if ya like.


I once had "most" of my Gold & some $$ stolen from within my own home (by slackers & loungers in a rental property), so helping out an 'ol mate and to get one back at that type of scum at the same time would give me satisfaction beyond belief, and payment more than enough to get me smiling again.

Just glad they left the detector so i can still get out & replace it with more, they have no such chance on their own.

C'mon bloke, let's go teach them a right Royal LESSON on the REAL way of things in the goldfields.

P.S.....Oh and if you want and need references as to my character, that can be provided too!!!!

I could mean rich in.. chocolate..or happiness..or..somethin else, but not wealth though I doubt :lol:

 

[SCROUNGER]

Chocolates good :lol: :lol: Happiness is great :lol: keep at it buddy.

 

[SCROUNGER]

You can't take gold or coins with you when you're pushing up weeds Atom, so none of us should worry too much about having monetary riches beyond your needs imo. Besides, if they did bury any of us with our treasures some bloody detectorist is just as likely to come along and dig us up someday:lol: :lol:

 

[AtomRat]

Its kind of sad really if anything that he is more eager to annoy me rather than pan in his own area and he would simply find much better gold no further than 50m from his own house?! He's one of those guys who's rather be loud and try to be funny in some way and miss the point of what your telling them. He only wants to dig gold when he knows its there.

If I lived where he lived, I would have council permission and whatever rights needed to dig under his house. He never listened and is digging left over flour gold in a useless spot. His arrogance and selfishness of what he thinks is easy gold is driving him down and he is trying to blame that on me as well. I can't help him anymore

 

[AtomRat]

What's best on top of it as well is he keeps his phone logged into my email ( i logged in to send photos through email on his phone..bad move ) saying he doesn't know how to log out, so most likely he is reading every bit of this later tonight after finding his digging for 6 hours will yet again end up in a .3g result due to the fact you had your mesh upside down in your sluice..again!

 

[SCROUNGER]

You need to move on mate, life's too short to let it eat away at you. Find another area to work that he doesn't know about and get into it. Bloody hell, i'm starting to sound like Dr Phil offering advice :lol: Sorry about that Atom.
