Hi gambol1

From what I've herd that coin could be worth quite a bit.

Peter mate did you know that they have forecast snow for Sunday? and you want to do what on Saturday?

Western Deep Levels

As you probably have gathered from the article, the mine changed it's name a few years back to African names.... We do get a fair amount of "fall of ground" tremors which sometimes knocks pictures of the walls Funny

X, are you scared of a little snow Shocked

and 30km/h winds? Oh, and 30% chance of rain..... Goodness, not much going for us hey Grin

I did buy 1/2 dozen beers and have kept them out of the fridge.... Just a little refreshment Wise

I would like to do some video work, but that will also depend on the weather, lets wait and see what happens Amen

Gambol, that's a neat find. I'm with Xav I think you got something good there.

It's actually cold there? I thought you guys were joking. Embarrassed

Shows how much I know lol. I can still find a lil snow here but it's above 8000 feet now and patchy. Most of the big mines here still running are all above ground they just chew the top off the mountains.

I'd probably end up in jail with Homes cause I know I'd be out digging somewhere anyway. Every time I hike by a rock outcrop I have to look for caves in case it's where outlaws stashed some of the 100lb bars stolen from the mines in the way back... I can't help myself... it's an addiction. Hoping to go get some yaller stuff tomorrow if there is still enough water to run the dredge. Cheesy

Maybe if you find a gold coin or two you can make a shiny new tooth Xav Grin

I love my coins toooo much. I think that Peter told you that the gold here in SA is far too deep for any of us to get to it (there are some places), but what he did not tell you is that we are always looking at tale tale signs like quartz, and when ever I go past a river I can't help my self to stop for a few hours reading the signs Remember I'm an X diamond diver and I do have a general knowledge on mineralogy especially of our area and when it comes to diamonds. So call me an out law if you like but as far as I'm concerned gold is for any one that finds it. (and so for diamonds) God did not say in the bible that the government owns it ( or did I miss a paragraph? ) so now you can call me a communist too but at the end of the day I think that we all are in our small way

and by the way when I say "you can" I'm referring to all opposed but no one in particular. OK Peter lets hear it mate Grin

Gambol, somehow I missed that post, but that coin is amazing Great

should be worth something Pray

X, if there is gold in front of me, I would be there like a shot Hello

I was thinking sometime of making a sluice and working the Klip river where gold was found many moons ago, but time is getting away from me No no!

Anyway, tomorrow is close bud, maybe a gold coin or two where we are going Kiss

As for the weather it might suck, but hey the finds will warm us up Funny
