[QUOTE="RottenRon, post: 63803, member: 174"] Looks like this thread is going to get some legs Mark. Good job. I have something for everyone to ponder. The Greenies, environmentalists, pollies etc. look at some of the supposed "damage" us prospectors have done, yet conveniently, call all the old timer diggings etc, as "Historic" and the rubbish they all left behind as "Relics" to be left in situ. Hell, if we left behind the holes they did, we'd all deserve to get kicked out. Acres and acres of the bastards. Mind you, I'm still in awe of all the hard work them old timers did. All with little or no machinery too. Have they also considered what all the old timers did to the "historic" aboriginal sites? Don't rate a mention I believe. My point is, by and large most of us clean up pretty well, and we need to. It's just that the small amount of evidence we leave behind is quite rare by comparison and therefore, in 50 or 100 years could become quite an attraction and also called "Historic". Hell, they may even protect the sites. Surely they wouldn't call them sacred,,,,, would they,,,lol. And that's not an invite for all you slack buggers to leave your mark either,,,,,, Cheers, Ron.
