Just kidding, it's nice to know that there are still nuggets out in the wild waiting to be found.

Good luck out there JW :)

Nice to meet you Luke. How did you do that day? I got zip with the 4500. Let me know how you do there with your Gold Bug if you give it a go there. That will be interesting. Cheers & happy hunting.
