I wish I could make some money..........

From Splendid Eliza

While getting lost we found a wishing pole. This is a pole that you try to get your money on to make a wish. People obviously have poor aim and there are only 4 coins on the pole.
We discovered a man with gumboots, a shovel, a sieve and a metal detector, this looked strangely unusual so I went to go have a look.

The Fraser river carries a lot of silt and it's banks are covered in thick, dark MUD. Delicious.

This is the Fraser River, about where the wishing pole is. And the bridges are VERY cool.

This is the silt filled Fraser River. 

After discovering this clever man we watched him. First he scoops up the silt, then he sieves it so the mud goes away and the he hits the jackpot. This man said that he has done this for the past 2 years and he has got an Olympic GOLD medal, 4 jars of coins and a lot of money for his son.

We wondered if Panmure basin would be a good place to start. LOL. Then we got Gelato, Yay. Delicious but expensive.$$$.

Two cabinets of FLAVOURS!
