Hi Everyone

My name is Nick I am from Rangiora and shoot a 7mm 08 hence the name.
Have just stumbled across this awesome little website and thought I would like to see what happens.
I have purchased a F4 from Robert and after a million what were probably stupid questions, I left happy. Got no idea where I can use it because I dont like to concern people, but that will come at some stage.

We have a high banker style setup sluice box that we have built but it is powered by a waterpump which we figure is not allowed on public fossicking areas, or are we mistaken???

If they are not allowed there, is there any way we are able to hire a patch of someones claim or swap for alcohol or something, we just want to have a go with this thing but without getting into trouble!!!

Thanks so much for taking the time to read my dribble, I look forward to meeting some of you soon, and now back to seeing what goldmine of information is here.

And to Kiwikeith, a huge congratulations on you posting, have only seen a couple of pages and cant wait to read some more

Cheers, Nick
