jrbeatty Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Just wondered if anybody here in the US knows of author and prospector Pieters whereabouts? Some old friends and I had a lot of fun prospecting Western Australia with them back in the mid nineties, while he and Debbie were living at Gwalia WA. As far as I know he left years ago. Steve: Apologies if this is off topic or in the wrong place, please feel free to move it somewhere more appropriate. Thanks! Juvenile fun in the "outback" Left to Right: Me, the late Jim Stewart, Debbie, Reg Wilson, Pieter Heydelaar, John Hider Smith. Pieter with a fuel tank off a Soyuz spacecraft. He had a good meteorite collection as well.

Steve Herschbach Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Googling him shows a company and P.O. box in Quartzite but the references are at least a few years old. Global Treasures P.O. Box 3264 Quartzite, Arizona 85359 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrbeatty Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Thanks Fred, Del, Steve. He detected some good gold here in the 80's and was later a Minelab SD prototype tester. If I'm ever in Quartzite, AZ I'll look him up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrbeatty Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Out of interest, here's an old Aussie ad (from 1993) with Pieter doing what he did extremely well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
