[QUOTE="Deepseeker, post: 513051, member: 13321"] They sure did. I've often thought of them when I've dug a couple of deep holes through hard ground and I'm sitting there completely stuffed at the end of the day. Those poor buggers did it daily with little or no comforts and antiquated tools & equipment compared to our modern day kit. Often hungry, sick or unwell in lousy weather with nothing but a tent or rudimentary hut for shelter. There must have been so many times when they had dug their 12 x 12 patch for nought, and considered chucking it all in and abandoning their claim, but had sunk so much of themselves and what little money they had into the venture that they had no choice but to stick with it in the hope that they eventually hit paydirt. They were amazing people when you think about it. :goldpan: :pickshovel: :goldnugget: [/QUOTE]
