I"m a country boy at heart and am currently a medical student based in Dunedin, Originally from Winton, Southland. In the past I've seen people posting up on here looking for people to come help them out on their claim and I would be very interested in coming and helping out over the summer. (November- Jan) I've been panning around Arrowtown and Long hilly track in the Longwoods in Southland, would like to learn a few more skills and enjoy being out in the bush over the summer. If anyone needs a good yarn and someone that's not afraid to work would be great to hear from you. Also If there's anyone around Dunedin area wanting to meet up and go for a pan or Detect I'd be keen to come along and learn some skills. Cheers Mark

If all goes to plan should get it by next week some time. Would be fun to have a wave around with down at St Kilda etc. Would be keen to meet up and look at going adventuring somewhere whether for a pan or something. Maybe up Gabriels gully near Lawrence?
