Hello everyone,i've been checking out the forum for a while now and thought i had better pop in and say hello. I've been prospecting for few months so far,2 months last season and a couple of weeks this season.At present i'm holed up in Leinster on the way to Wiluna when the weather allows. I've found some great info and advise on here from the more seasoned prospectors that will help me along the way so a big thanks to those of you who chose to share your knowledge with us beginners.Wayne. |

Have to agree about that 'special' feeling when we get that nugget, even today brings great joy. Had to smile about the 'dance' because I am prone to doing that!! Sounds like you are off to a great start with a great machine, well done. Cheers, Kath |
