Honed in on the mother lode tonight, and my heart is still functioning after missing a few beats when these epic swirls glowed my way! :yay::D:yay: Was too paralyzed by disbelief to actually get the nice screen shot, needing a triple-take at the monitor, as I've been blasting away 3+ years waiting to find my first elusive tower, and oh how incredibly fine this baby looks! Always dreamed of a nice tower or two, but to be up in the top ten of the ATH list is simply pure sweetness indeed!

A few stats if anyone is interested...
Found at 797m. Used an exquisitely (Auktuma) crafted Vrx2000 with a 105 amp, and I'm at level 44 prospecting. Musical inspiration playing over the headphones was "Dolores in a Shoestand" by the late, great (and sorely missed) Esbjorn Svensson. Find was NW of Pandora - one my favorite fields for years now, though best at TK120 depths I'd say - I don't use the Vrx2k here much, but sure was the right tool for the job tonight!.

Would like to give a shout of thx to my great mates in DK and DKS for all the good wishes and gratz(es). Next few rounds are on me - even the pricy trappist brews, so rally round the bar!

Now on with the drafting of that shopping list... (was thinking of buying a cheap car to get me off the dodgy London trains as "leaves on the rails" season is fast approaching after all :( ), but nah... then I'd be on time to work, so lets fold it all back into the loot pool :).
