Haha thanks mate, sorry I didn't realise that the name of the thread was also the name of the show lol I'm not having a good day today haha

What's this tv show called? Sorry I don't see the name mentioned in the thread.

WOW! That's awesome mate!! I'm hoping to go on a camping trip soon and pan for gold for my first time. I hope I do as well as you!!

Thanks guys! Unfortunately I've been struggling with multiple health problems for a while, this is the icing on the cake. I don't want to accept that I can't do some things, but I need to change that thinking a bit because it's a big reason why this latest issue occurred. But anyways, I told...

Thanks for your reply, everything you said makes a lot of sense! So far with my very limited experience, people I've come across have been fine with what I'm doing. I had one guy the other day stop and talk for ages because he himself is a local and told me how he had found heaps of old stuff...

Thanks for the replies! GH, thank you for letting me know about your thread that you started! It has helped me heaps! I have a long handled spade that I used a year ago to dig almost 100 holes for the piers for a deck I built, and I decided this morning that the spade had done enough of that...

Thanks mate! I just sent him a message via eBay; hopefully I'll hear back from him soon. Getting old really sucks, and what makes it worse is that I'm only 44!!!!

Hi all I'm currently out in the bush looking for buried relics with my kids. The problem we are having is digging our finds out of the ground! I have a really bad back and nerve issues, so I currently can't use a spade, which is what we really need. We are using a steel garden stake to break...
