With the summer season close upon us, i was wondering if any of you have ever gone out Gold Prospecting at all, or if this is a hobby which appeals to you in any way at all? If you do go out gold prospecting, nugget hunting, what tools and equipment do you use? Do you own your own gold claim? Whereabouts do you you enjoy prospecting for gold? Have you ever used a gold metal detector, if so, which make and model do you recommend? Tell us about your equipment, any great finds that you have made and what appeals to you the most about gold prospecting and/or gold nugget hunting. I'd love to hear and read about your experiences. If you are looking for any gold prospecting equipment, gold paydirt, gold bars, gold metal detectors, gold sluices and/or highbankers, drywashers, gold dredging equipment, gold spiral wheels etc, consider if you would be so kind, having a look at my signature list, I've got a site there relating to this subject which you may enjoy looking through. Finally, where do you think the price of gold is going to go, let's say 12 months from now, what price do you think an ounce of gold will cost in US $? Looking forward to sharing information with hopefully, one or two of you here. To your continued success! Mark
