A few days ago I had little interest in prospecting apart from being curious and wanting to meet an experienced prospector with interesting tales to tell. Then a bloke from the Grey Nomads forum read a post of mine about my current medical situation and offered to take me prospecting when I finally get on the road. I was excited about that prospect (no pun intended) and said so. So then he decided I needed a good luck charm and sent me a genuine nugget he found in WA. That blew me away! A real nugget! I'd never seen one before. The deal is I gotta keep it with me during my operation and subsequent recovery. He reckons it's lucky because there was a brown snake skin alongside it when he found it. He didn't notice the snake skin at first, and when he did, he jumped 6' into the air. There must be something about that nugget that attracts brownies. The other day, I was at Lighthouse Beach (near Port Macquarie) taking photos when two young girls warned me about a brown snake that had just slithered into a grassy patch of sand behind me. Oops!
Anyway, the bloke included a prospecting magazine with the nugget to "whet my appetite" and it did. I read all the articles and became fascinated. And here I am on the prospecting forum hoping to learn a thing or two from your posts. BTW, that blank avatar looks better than I do which is a bit of a worry. 8)
