New Zealand Gold Prospecting & Metal Detecting Forums Archive

I think it is pretty obvious that ‘Jafa’ is someone who gets his kicks stirring up trouble on internet forums. If you not pay any attention to him he will go make a nuisance of himself somewhere else.

No actually it was my brother in law who was killed by falling bricks so if you want to make fun of that, show some fucking balls and say it to my face and as for "entillengence" ...................you just showed all yours.
Just Anuther Fuckn Arsehole

Ray, You are an idiot because you used EXPLOSIVES in the Coromandel, not because you "found" a piece of quartz with some nice looking gold in it. It is the method you used. I will repeat myself to you. Fossicking for gold is not an acceptable pratice in the eyes of the law any where in the north island. You do so at your own risk. The Coromandel, like it or not, has a very strong green movement. The tree hugging frog arse licking type. Using explosives is a sure way to fuk it up for all of us. So just think about that aye.....before you go & do it again. If you do go & do it again then with any luck you will blow your head off & then we wont have to worry about the likes of you stuffing it up for the rest of us "responsible" fossickers.
If you did find that nice specimen then I am supprised that that is all you found & didnt get any other colours along with it. I have found some nice specimens myself in the Coro without the use of explosives & just using hand tools. But I have always found other bits of gold along with them & never ever just found one nice little specimen all by itself. I find it hard to believe that there was no other gold trapped in that crevice with that piece or maybe your panning skills are that bad that you threw out all but that biggest bit.
It also seems that you are digging yourself a big hole on this forum & that you are making no friends. I find it disgusting that you would take such a cheap shot at the Christchurch earthquakes. That really shows your true colours & what a low life you are. Makes you paint a really good picture of a JAFA & why a lot of the country has that opinon on Aucklanders. You have done yourself no favours at all.

Interesting - I think Gavin is either on holiday or hiding around the corner trying to fathom out how it is that by beginning this forum he thought he was opening the can of caviare but has just found out that it was really a can of worms!

As for jafas - I found that they were unstable when thrown from a height having had experience as a kid in picture theatres! To be fair to Mr Jafa I think his problem is social ineptness and rest well assured that the closest he has seen to explosives is a cracker at the kindergarten fireworks display. If he had any sense he would not have stated that he was in Coromandel blowing things up - unless it was on private property with the land owners permission and quite possibly the only gold he has found is actually - you guessed it - fools gold!

Jafa - be sensible and think before you write.

Hi guys,

Unfortunately I don't get the time to read everything that everyone posts - I try to skim most stuff though. The best thing to do is use the "Report?" link that appears at the bottom right of every post. This will alert me to any problems a bit quicker ;)

The jafa's certainly rocking the boat a bit I see! I don't like to ban anyone unless I really need to, so for now I've just suspended his account for a week. Let's see what happens after that. There's been a few people that caused a bit of a stir when they first joined the forums, then surprised me by becoming valued members of our little community that contribute useful stuff and engage well with other members (probably more than me :P ). I think it's too easy to read the wrong intentions in to someones post and jump to the wrong conclusion and perhaps go on the attack back (don't read anything too deeply in to that last one - not read all the posts in this thread - more talking about past experience!).

Cheers,
Gavin

1 week is probably enough time for him to get an honourary mention in the Darwin Awards 2011.

Well I did say - to quote myself 'To be fair to Mr Jafa I think his problem is social ineptness and rest well assured that the closest he has seen to explosives is a cracker at the kindergarten fireworks display' - in other words his attempts to 'pull the wool over our eyes' can be readily seen - as they would say in New Guinea I think it is 'Big fella yabba yabba watch 'im that one' - high pressure salesman or bull shit artist.

I would not be at all surprised if the gold photo can be found somewhere, either in a book or on internet but I may be wrong and if so apologise accordingly.

Hi guys, Personaly I think Jafa is having us on. Just come on here for a bit of a wind up. Why it is that people like this can be bothered wasting their time is beyond me. Maybe he is on P or something....or has a pretty boring life. But the facts are that there are people out there like this.
For those of you who have been around this forum for a while, will be well aware of my rants & raves about my opposition to naming exact places to go looking for gold, no matter where it may be, on a public forum & the stir that caused. A public forum is out there for the whole world to see, not just the members of the forum. So I take this opportunity to drive the nail home to point out that it is people like Jafa, who being a minority, can ruin it for us, the majority. So why would you want some one like him knowing of a good gold spot?? How often can just one or two people stuff things up for every body else?? Happens every where all the time doesnt it.
In my case the area is the Coromandel, & it is my home. I am very passionate about going bush & having a scratch around. Just quietly minding my own business, causing & creating no harm & enjoying the out doors. If I am luck I may find a bit of colour. "Legaly" I shouldnt be doing it so the key is to not attract attention. Be stealth.
All it takes is a Jafa to come along & end it all.
I was going to say more.....but wont. I take a dim view of the likes of Jafa. So enough said. I wont waste any more of my time on him.

Happy hunting

JW :)
