[QUOTE="Grey Panner, post: 667315, member: 15464"] Some years ago our club was out panning. When we packed up to leave one member stayed behind to try that one last pan. He told me later that as he panned at the water's edge, a large tree, its roots loosened by recent heavy rain, came crashing downwithout warning. It missed him by inches. ( Not centimeters. I said this was some years ago.) If it had landed squarely on him he believes that he would have been driven down into the river and would have disappeared without trace leaving only an abandoned vehicle to show that some-one had once been there. A bit fanciful perhaps but it illustrates the point that , when fossicking in remote areas, one should always have a mate. [/QUOTE]
