Hi guys, I have taken this post down as I should have known better. Fossicking in the Coromandel for gold isnt an accepted practice in the eyes of the law & I dont have the right to put places up that can involve private property. There are people who dont respect that fact (private property) & I can see the land owner getting annoyed at a sudden influx of people asking to go on his land. Once something is on the internet it can go viral & no telling howmany may act on the info given . So sorry about that, I was caught in a weak moment.

JW :)
