The two main guys that kept this thread going, Peter and Xavier, have both moved out of country within a year or so of each other. Peter went to England and X to Belgium. You know what X is up to.  We seldom hear from Peter anymore...  used to be because of lots of work...   !

Looks like we have inherited it then. Don't know a whole lot about SA, except what Xavier has mentioned, but gold and diamonds peaks my attention. Smiley.

A bad day at gold prospecting or metal detecting is better than a good day at work.

Hy guys

I use to be a diamond diver on the west coast close to Namibia, we were controlled by the De beer company as they had a monopoly over the entire coast (diamond bearing area) unfortunately this area only allowed us to get in a few times per year, we often ended up doing repairs to our equipment or just sitting around waiting for the ocean to let us in. We would work day and night in the ocean when it was flat as this could only last for a very short time.

Sounds like a great adventure story X. I will probably never get over there, but you never know. Thanks for the share.

He went to Belgium because in SA would not give him the health care he needed and when he got there is when we made plans for him to come here.

I thought he told me was originally from Belgium?
But if not seems like Belgium was a long way to go for health care.

Yes he did come from Belgium, But In Belgium being part of the EU he could get free medical care, So it was his best option for him really.
