[QUOTE="MJB, post: 104181, member: 1222"] I have only ran in to one other person while out panning. I had just arrived at a new spot to do a quick recce' and was standing ontop of a high creek bank when I heard something clanging in the distance. Sure enough a fella comes walking down the dry creek bed, shovel, pan, bucket and large water bottle all slung over his shoulder. I called out "you must have the same idea I do" and that started a great conversation. We showed eachother what pathetic amount of gold we had found and it turned out I had found more from another spot than this poor chap. I happily told him where my better spot was as he was a nice bloke. If he would have turned around with an attitude from the start I would not have told him nothing so being open to a chat with fellow prospectors can only be a win-win :D cheers [/QUOTE]
