Early start 6 oclock last Sunday the old man picked me an my mate up element111 of we head to the claim .get to base camp load up the four Wheeler head off to the creek get to the hole we making for a month now and were into it half way through the day after we've all had a go on the nozzle I ask the old Bugger where's the rock! He says. In that bag there.so as element 111 getting prepared to get under the water I'm unwrapping this prepared hoax rock.I unwrap this monster. The old man and I are in a laughing fit by this stage we both had to turn our backs. Unaware of what's going on off he goes sucking away on the bank of the hole.I slip in undetected on the other side and jam it in and cover it up. 5min later he gets closer so I put my mask on and rest on a boulder poking out the surface and break the surface watching the reaction. Boom he uncovers it its huge! Drops the nozzle grabs the rock and at lightning speed rips his hode off and outer the water over to the old man and holds out this enormous rock as he's holding tight on the straight face points to me I'm crying with laughter at that point he realizes its not as heavy as it should be. So if you reading this Karl lets see a pic of this beauty :)

yip he said the next one he going to throw it behind him with the rest of the rocks

I hope you wiped up and apologised.

I love little pranks like this...reminds me of when i first started dectecting with robert about 9 or 10 months ago...we were doing a beach hunt and i got infront of him and took my wedding ring off and buried it...then swung my machine over it and called him over saying i had a wierd signal.
he swung his machine over it and liked the signal and told me to dig it up..i said no you go ahead your better at this than me as i am just learning..
I nearly died when he started slaming the metal sand scoop into the ground,but he didnt hit the ring...and when he pulled the scoop up and shook the sand out and saw this gold ring there he got all excited until he saw the None tanned part of my finger.....i laughed for most of the day after that..and he still swears he is going to get me back...hahahahaha
