Got a few more days off than expected this month before heading back to work properly.
Have work this Wednesday, which may spill over into Thursday, but then nothing till after the 14th,
and probably not going full steam again till February, so im keen to go gold fossicking a few more times before then :)

Depending on what the weather / rivers etc look like, after the recent flooding,
I plan to leave this Friday morning and just follow my nose (or GPS - lol ) to the west.

Coast forecasts doesn't look that bright either, so may change my mind closer to Friday.
Any coast locals that can say whether this weekend would be a wise time for a trip over or not - please do :)

Anyone keen to tag along? Carpool/convoy/meetup over there in the weekend etc etc...



Check out my BLOG : Its where i post my finds :D

I could be tempted if the weather looks okay nearer the time and my new Minelab 11" mono coil has turned up ;) Looking a bit wet for Sat at the moment - http://metvuw.com/forecast/forecast.php?type=rain&region=nzsi&noofdays=7
