Having the fever does have its risks, but the pot o' gold is the reward! And, no green leprechauns to fight for it either.

All the best, and someone needs a design award for the poster,:icon_thumright:

Ah ya lads are the best. Nothing better than that sweet butter colored gold. That gobshites reward should be giving him the fever. Invite him out to a spot and don't forget a bit of Irish whiskey lad, good times will be had by all, hopefully with heavy pans!

You cross three lanes of traffic and slide to a stop in the median so you can jump out and grab that stray plastic bucket because "you might need one more"

I figured I had a problem when I had to go buy a belt because my pants kept falling down from all the rocks in my pockets...

...every time you see a quartz rock you have to pick it up just to see if there is color on the other side. That's even in a parking lot of the grocery store that has stone landscaping.

An easy fix is to go buy some nuggets if you don't have any and put them in the pan with a ¼oz of fines before you give it to her. Then hand her the shovel and show her where you want the holes dug :evil6:

You know you have gold fever when you have 3 feet of snow outside , so you start panning your fines on the dinning room table in a water tub for horses .
