Gold for the taking

Im not overly happy with this shot but the reason i used it was because it was dark when i got home from work and i needed something to upload that could tell a story. At the weekend we had spent a few hours gold panning on the West Coast of NZ, We had brought home a small bag of pay dirt as we are only learning and it takes ages to try and pan out the gravel. Tonight i sat and panned for 2 hours to be rewarded with these few flakes of gold. I am hoping i can come back to this photo in a couple of years time to find i have improved both my photography and gold panning skills :-)
