A mate sent me a picture from the paper of a guy who had dug down 12 feet, only to realise his metal detector had been picking up his steel-toe-capped boots!

Thought about it as the rivers round here have gold in them. Watched a couple of guys a few months ago whilst out with the dogs and he showed me some flour gold. I'm sure these guys didn't have the required paperwork or permissions off the landowners either side of the river but the £20,000 fine would sure sharpen your senses. It's the thought of finding something that has been lying around under a rock for millions for years that no one else has seen or touched. Oh and the money of course.

Some unpronouncably named rivers around here. I used to have some gold from one of the local mines when I was a kid and one of our clients in a miner.....
