Hi, am new to this forum but thought I would introduce myself as a Kiwi now living in Scotland.
I have been gold panning and sniping for about 6 years now mostly in Scotland and Wales. I also help moderate the main gold panning site in the UK at Scottishgoldprospectors and try to get out most weekends.
I try to visit NZ as often as I can and absolutely love the way NZ is so organised with the fossicking areas.
