I know the feeling - I also know that when something we look forward to so intensely arrives then you take two blinks and its time to go home!

Its a grand place the West Coast and still some great people over there.

Have a great time when you are there. may success and happiness be your achievements and may the weather be fine for the duration...good luck.

G'day Flintlock, Ditto to what Lammerlaw said. I have 17 more sleeps before I hit Central for 4 weeks. But like Graeme said, two blinks & we will be back home again. Hopefully with a poke full of those sassy Otago, & in your case, west coast nuggets :)

Good luck & happy hunting.

JW :)

Thanks Guys. Hopefully those big rains have moved a bit of the gold around.I will be heading back to a spot I found last year that was quite rich in flood gold.
