Looks real good Gat- now show the pic of the full pan haha. Is your season over or are you going back- I know a good diver who would surely like to dredge something bigger than dust. Mark

I weren't talkin about me Gat. I'm stuck here for now and besides I got too much invested in this dust collector of mine to not give it one more good shot at doin what I want. But I got a friend who really enjoys being under water, I didn't think about it till after I got home from the outing. His name is Nolan and his email is traderman321@yahoo.com, he may not be able to do anything this late but you may be able to line up something for next year. Who knows maybe I can even do some travelin next year but for now I'll stick to me dust haha. Take care buddy and BTW there is still alot of room in that pan- you better get back to work haha. Mark
