And then I go to my rucksack and get my gold pan.....yeah baby I am
panning for gold.

I got the fever!

Here in the states, we have some shows on digging for gold in Alaska.
Cool one is the guys diving with dredge hoses in Nome. Something I
would have done when I was younger. Looked cool.

Frank in a diving suit in 30 feet of water, holding a strong suction hose,
heat and air provide by hoses from crappy equipment based on a platform
dredge that looks like in wouldn't float in a puddle and would fall apart in
a mild breeze. What could go wrong?

Frank in a set of waders in fast water, holding a beloved flyrod, using
a Falstaff with worn rubber bands, on shaky knees, casting a size 2 10x
streamer without its barb pinched, in a mild breeze. What could go
wrong?
