…Your office is a lot nicer than mine.

Did it sound like the bloke at 5.05?

My office is nout like that… I am looking out at a security fence with an industrial gold process plant in the background looking forward to a Christmas dinner tonight cooked by an Indian Chef and shared with 500 Lao with a limited grasp of engrish.

Good to see it going.

Got all Feb off.

Merry Christmas
Kelly and Paul

That is one kick arse dredge LBD nice work!!!

When it comes to goldmining it takes a lot to impress me but I think that video is bloody marvellous - in fact it makes me jellyarse.

Many years ago I used to tie an underwater dredge underneath my pontoons and using a three inch Aqualite motor I could navigate up the river using a shovel as a rudder!

You set up is a lot faster, very practical and very efficient. My system was primitive in comparison but worked.

I think LBD,s is a 150 , they are pretty popular in the states.
