That would certainly make me a happy man if I did. A certain Rangiora hunter who will remain nameless but uses a minelab and goes by the name of NZdigger managed to do that same thing in front of my very eyes only last weekend.
		My greatest fear is that when I die my wife will sell my collection for what I told her it cost me.

Last couple of days have been pretty shitty. Cold AND wet. Rains' supposed to stop tonight, then sunny at the weekend but still coldish. Itching to get out there. I wonder if a certain detectorist will invite us to his secret location?
