My memorable "Can't Sleep the Night Before's" have always been the night after a pretty good day of successful dredging and at the end of the day the nozzle hits a pay streak/pocket of gold, but I have to quit because the day has come to an end. For sure I describe it as being a young kid the night before Christmas when you hope the bike you asked for is sitting by the tree.

The Gold Fever makes me do it (dredge/prospect) but the GOLD discovery makes me more than excited!

I haven't been having trouble falling asleep, but I am finding that I'm dreaming about gold and prospecting a lot lately.

You will sleep better using sheets and pillowcase with gold threads.
