What sort of vehicle is that Redfin, it looks like a beauty.

Wal, There was a lot of people fossicking in the 70's and i like that rocker box sluice.

Grubstake that's a good effort to find that nice piece. I have one of those early Garretts you have in your hand hanging up in my workshop. (nice shirt by the way)

Great old pictures and i enjoyed looking at them.

thanks Bangas (no comment) yep, yep the photo is coming .... but think of the "Sandman" as a reference to the colloquial "SIN BIN" that's how I first took it when dwt raised it. Still looking for a respectable 8) pic as I'm still with the girl 38 years on
