Hello again Gingerbreadman
Suggest you read the article in this site on "Hugh Mc Allister". That's what an obnoxious, greedy attitude inspires in small minded people. The largest percentage of us on this site are doing this for the love of the outdoors and the money means nothing. We wander around with a detector or small sluice and leave no damage whatsoever. The spectacular native forest and freedom to access it whenever I like is what is important. I have had an absolute gut-full of greedy bastards destroying the bush and then to cover up their destruction they fill these areas up with pine trees knowing eventually the public will forget. The next stage is the trees are taken off and these areas become farmland and the bush is gone for good. All this clearly visible on "Google Earth". I personally have huge sympathy and empathy for Maori who have to sit back and watch THEIR country being systematically destroyed.
To be honest Boy, i think you are just a bloody dreamer anyway. I make my living through a very successful career and hard work. Maybe you should take your hand of it and do the same.
