If you want to give it a go you simply need to lie stomach down, hands at sides, in your chosen position, where ever that may be. when i first heard of planking and saw what these guys were doing it did seem like a waste of time. after seeing a few i have to admit it can be quite funny. just remember to keep it safe, unlike the fool that tried to balance on a round rail several stories up a building whilst drunk. had to happen in oz. sorry australians! if you google "planking" you will find some examples, even a facebook page dedicated to the subject. simon.

First it was duck shooting, now planking. As long as the focus of the other areas is gold I don't have any issue myself. I will remove spam though. Regarding planking death... there's always going to be someone who takes things too far (can be said about any activity performed while drunk I guess). I'm sure they've just submitted themselves for a Darwin Award ;)

Wasn't my intention. Just notice you've gone quiet which I think is a shame as you're a valuable member of the group who's shared a great deal of knowledge that I'm sure other members have found very useful as well as myself. Or perhaps you're just on an extended trip in the bush hauling out a world record breaking boulder of gold?! Come back jw - we miss you! ;) Gav

I know of some forums that have been ruined by too much off topic stuff like politics etc. and it makes them a real pain in the a** to read. Or find useful info. I'll stay to topic from now on. Cheers

Good and heavy and lead free! Then you could sluce them out again and reuse them right?

Water's a bit cold for me at the moment without a gear upgrade! And decided I need to try out some other detecting options so haven't been out doing that either. Will start doing some real detector search soon for my next machine - interesting watching the detector chatter on the forums though. Hoping to get out in the bush and scope out a few areas soon though ;)
