Welcome to the forum Shags, Retirement is the beginning of the next great adventure in ones life. Many struggle to find fulfillment and before they know it time has passed them bye. Prospecting enhances a will to learn new things, explore new places, and fulfill old dreams.
A better gym was never built, and better comrades were never met. I hope the threads within the forum can more than pass a few wiley hours and can become a stepping stone into a prospectors' life. Best of luck out there,
