[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 659443, member: 3960"] Yes it's a horrible feeling when you reach for your bottle and it's gone. On one occasion we'd had a mediocre day and I had a few grams. I'd taken the son's father-in-law out to a favorite spot and after returning to camp I reached for my bottle, the magnetic one, to show off my finds. It was gone so I headed back trying to retrace my steps to the last find. It was right up the side of a steep slope on rocky ground and a half hour later I was back without the bottle. Then there was four of us searching but still nothing but after giving up I returned to the boot of the bus to find my bottle firmly attached to the boot lid latch where I'd removed my harness earlier. On another occasion I'd dug a 20g piece. I videoed the search..... [MEDIA=youtube]Km-Rw9GLoRE[/MEDIA] Sometime you just get lucky :) [/QUOTE]
