[QUOTE="shivan, post: 120521, member: 194"] I would consider myself an "instant" prospector born of goldrush alaska and prospecting internet forums. I did not do it as get rich quick scheme because of rising gold prices but in an effort to get fit after a a few years of bad health. The first thing i did was to go out of my way to learn the rules, good thing because the gold field just round the corner where i wanted to go was national park :rolleyes: I ended up enjoying not only getting out in the bush again but researching the how and where to find gold. Enjoyed it all so much i headed to UNI to learn a bit about geology. Now just because i was only born in 1980 and did not find out i was interested in prospecting till 4-5 years ago, does this mean i do not have as much right as you older blokes to go out and give it a go? I understand the amounts of idiots out there has increased with the amount of people prospecting but i think its a bit rough to blame anyone new to the hobby for any problems being had. There are a lot of "weekend warriors" out there wrecking the place for everyone, but they are not just the newer prospectors though i am sure there are a few. [/QUOTE]
