I wanted to thank our good friend's Trevor (TWA) and his wife Hazel
in Western Australia. They are great folks. He sent me a picture of some of the gold he has found detecting. I think he said Hazel once found a 32 ounce nugget!!! :o WOW...Pretty nice! I'll ask if I can post her pic with it on a table. It's very cool.  His friend Matt Duncan in Australia also has a great website, check it out. http://www.goldnuggetexchange.com/index.html Like I said "Australia has great gold, and great people!

QUOTE (gold_tutor @ Dec 11 2003, 10:01 AM) That gets the blood pumpin', Trevor/Hazel, Mrs CP. THANKS FWIW, I think EVERYONE should buy an Australian quartz/gold specimen for a conversation piece. Not only does it spend some Yankee bucks with our good friends down under, BUT... it sure does thaw out a room of stuffy miners when I whip out a piece of Aussie high purity gold and tell 'em where it came from. Good way to make new friends...buy an Aussie specimen, right, Trevor/Hazel? Thanks, its great to show other people photos of the gold that we find as it may encourage others to take up the hobby of looking for gold. And yes you are right it make a great talking point, even to those who never go fossicking for gold. It is even nicer when you can share these moments with people from across the globe. I would like to thank Dan and Denise for placing these pics in so other people may enjoy looking at them also. Cheers, Trevor & Hazel |
