JW Only you and Daniel have shop pages so the answer is likely to be no ;) I've not been monitoring what you've been sent through the site so feel free to forward me some of it so I can see if it's a spam bot or someone entering crap manually.

Message is just guggly gook that raves on with no sense. I guess that is to beat any spam protection. There is then a website address at the end that changes from email to email but looks to be porn related/sex toy stuff. I have just deleated without opening or going into the websites. Hows your gold hunting been? Regards John :)

Maybe Google has been siphoning it off to the spam folder for me when it arrives ;) Not been out for ages on a gold mission :( Hoping to maybe get away this weekend, but my usual partner in crime is unavailable. Maybe a solo mission - will see - might be getting the heebie geebies after reading all the unusual experiences! :P Been checking out all your finds you've been posting - getting jealous of you being down in Q'town! Keeping me inspired!
