Follow up to Gold Hunting in New Zealand for Geos

[Wildcat]

Hi all.
You never know who is going to read these threads. I recieved a email from a Geo studying placer deposits in NZ and Australia. Turns out that about 35 years ago I used to fly Radio Controlled model aircraft with her parents when I lived in NZ. How much of a coincidence is that?
If you are interested you can check out this website and her studies on the matter. http://www.otago.ac.nz/geology/people/students/falconer/index.html
I thought maybe Lanny and Jim in particular may be interested ?


Cheers

Hi Hoser John, Good to see you're still about. lol Don't people like that make you feel verrrrry amateur-ish? I mean, we can usually get a good feeling about a place and if the signs are right we can usually knock off a nugget or two, but the Geos go way beyond that. But to specialise in an area as unusual as that takes a pretty special kind of person. I can't retain knowledge till the next day....

My Mom(sure miss her) was a extremely educated person(PHD and Doc) but she loved her geology best,said it grounded her(no pun intended) and the rock fever was passed down to currently 4 generations. She definately presents a compulsive person persona,so needed these days. I'll be busy but will return to read more. 1 day I'm there in NZ!!! John

lol Nice to hear from you Jim. I hope Lanny is OK too. I am sure JW will spot your comment Jim. Funny thing... DF said she owned a Minelab, but it wasn't really the right thing for her (a Geo) to be seen with it. I say, go get 'em girl! I mean what is life if you don't have a hobby?

I see a gent on another forum has put up some great photos of the new Whites TDI Pro. It is also the Australian version I believe. I am getting seriously interested.
