Found your group in the Yahoo Goldminers Group and was impressed with the design and theory of banjo's. As a New Zealander I have n
I work in Wellington and spend a lot of time in the West Coast goldfields near Greymouth. While a relatively unsucessful dredger I spend most of my time with a sluice box and shovel. The gold in the area I deal with is small flakes and thin so the classifing system of a banjo seems to me a sensible plan.
Have I mentioned that I am mad, possibly as bad as every one else but thats what makes it fun. The good thing about New Zealand golding is the relative short travel. I suspose the lack of spiders snakes and prospectors is good too.

Hi Geoff,
Good to have you on board. We have a few members from your side of the pond.
Looking forward to seeing some pics of your golding area (NZ is so lovely and green) and of course the gold you find and any yarns you can tell.
Welcome to the mad house.
Cheers Mrs Fly
PS: Hope you like sheep jokes. ;D

Mrs Fly What is a sheep joke? I have no idea what you are talking about. But didn't the old shilling have a sheep on it (Australian of course). Yes it is green where I prospect, lots of rain. LOTS. Good for the sluice box. Faster streams. Have Fun Geoff

G'day Geoff from the other side of the pond. Enjoy the site mate. Mrs Fly said I hope you don't mind sheep jokes, but she forgot to mention about cricket and rugby slinging matches from both sides of the big pond as well ;D ;D
