I might well have a look for that one HWMBLT likes a good walk for something interesting

Come to think of it, Dharma has some gold that she found near Tyndrum. She doesn't log on regularly but pops in when she can.
Maybe pm her so she sees the thread.

cheers,
Toddy

One of my older brothers found a small amount of gold when he worked down the tungsten mine years ago.

This is just up the road from me, I've done it but it never made me rich.

I go panning a couple of times a year to leadhills area , must admit its good fun and a great way of clearing the mind . Any gold I have found up to now has been microscopic but I live in hope

Lots of prospecting in North Wales from what I hear

Panning rarely made anybody rich - as far as I know, it was only ever really a prospecting technique, used to decide where it was worth staking a claim and investing the effort to build a sluice box.
