[QUOTE="goldtruck59, post: 138826, member: 1033"] I agree with some of the above in the sense that; If you turn a hobby into an obsession whether it be for a job or compulsive disorder LOL you will invariably grow to despise it. Well at least I did. I used to play golf many years ago to a point where I would shoot 90 for 18 holes most of the time. This was after years as a hacker shooting 110-120 for 18 holes with my mates once a week. In the end if I didn't better 90 I would crack the shits throw my clubs etc etc. I gave it up as a bad joke and have never played since. As for gold prospecting, with me it was my love of history and exploration of our great country that got me started. I wasn't after gold necessarily but relics of a bygone era in places that I had researched and read about. The investment from a 4000 to a 4500 to a 5000 and ten years later sees a similar parody to my golf experience. I now get the shits if I don't pick up a nuggy or two when I'm out. Before I was just happy wandering around the bush and a nugget was a reason the celebrate and have a beer. Be careful for what you wish for as its not always what you get. Certainly in my case that's true. GT [/QUOTE]
