Just a quick message to let you know I'm off with a few other forum users for a gold detecting trip over in Oz. Hopefully I'll have some nice stories to share when I return!

So if I'm a bit slow deleting the spam posts that pop up, you know why - I'll be in the arse end of nowhere without internet access. Please just use the "Report?" links at the bottom of any dodgy posts and that'll flag it for me to look in to when I get back. Cheers ;)

Great stuff Gavin - hope you find a football sized nugget - wanna baggage boy! I sure am jealous - should be a great experience - watch out for the snakes, crocs, goannas, red backs, man eating termites, untamed locals and fighting Kangaroos!
