[QUOTE="noyungan, post: 46389, member: 1881"] Nice one trenchfighter!! I've never thought of carrying a hacksaw.. A can opener-yes, it just goes to show one can never carry enough.. Did you have a shoo roo mounted on front?? 60 years ago I used to visit on weekends an old prospector who taught me panning and when out shooting roos he had a sharp pocket knife and when skinning roos he cut off the scrotum and sold them to a dealer somewhere who tanned them into ladys' coin purses. The women probably never suspected where they came from.. Metre long sand goannas were his target also when out panning. In one movement he'd grab it by the tail swing it around and smash its head against the nearest tree, then slit its belly open & recover the roe-like fat glands which he got the sun on his corrugated iron roof to render the fat into a glass bottle.. Among other things he reckoned it was good for piles. Never had to try it.**** Prospecting trivia sure can be interestin... Cheers,, Carl. [/QUOTE]
