Gold does funny things to people & it just isnt worth the risk to just share all you know & good places to find gold with every random on the internet. Think about it.....people out there are only too keen for a free easy ride to richers. Gold aint easy. It takes a lot of dedicated time, enery, & effort out in the field of hard knocks to learn where, when & how & there are just too many users out there to give it up so freely. So when you make a comment like "Were you leave all your gold that would be much appreciated too haha, Joking...." I dont believe you are really joking & it takes a lot of time for some one to build up confidence in some one or maybe more than one or two to share that kind of information with, if ever. I am sure you know what I mean.... JW

I am sure you know what I mean.... JW yes your exactly right . i wasnt joking in terms to privacy and so on. how ever i was joking in asking everyone else as to were there gold is. as i no none woul actualy tell me nor expect them to as i no exactly how it feels to find your own spots do your own research and do the hard yards. he only down side is it takes quiet a bit of time to find other members to conect with not that theres anythng wrong with that its just i i love geting out into the feild rather than siting on here talking about it.which inturn means im usually out in the feild by myself when id much rather be goling with other people. i think i just need to take a bit more time to make some hunting budies and build trust ect

Hi there Chch fossicker, Yes there are lots of those types & I guess that is human nature. Just out for there own gain & giving nothing back at all. I have come across many like that on forums that I graze all over the world. Many that have personaly emailed me & just nailed me with questions. Sucking what ever they could to there own advantage. A lot of them there mannerisims werent even very pleasant. At first I would just go along with them & help them out as I too learnt from asking & what comes around goes around, with me. But over time you never hear from a lot of them again & they never come back on the forums to pass on to others or share any of there adventures etc & a lot of the time you dont even get a thanks. But then there are those that you just jell with & a life long friend is made. Even if it is just on the internet the connection is made. Trust & confidence takes time & is a special thing & not to be taken for granted when it comes to gold. Good luck out there & happy hunting JW :)
