Hi Phrunt
Thanks for the welcome, I’ll admit though I’m not born and bred here, ex UK, Scotland. Used to do a bit of panning there as a hobby. The area my friend and I panned in was also great for caving which makes me think now, em....cave panning.
I’m heading down to live in Picton, Marlborough at the end of the year, hopefully catch up and dredge together.Cheers
