Digger Bob Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I just read on the Finders forum that our old friend Chris Hake passed away earlier this week. Cause unknown at this time, other than "natural causes", age 56.Many of us old timers remember Chris fondly from the "early days" of detecting in Oz when Minelabs were new and gold was plentiful. His knowledge was unsurpassed and his willingness to share what he knew was unflinching. That is, until people started taking advantage of him and where he went. He got a bit bitter after that but he would still contribute to the forums and add to everyones knowledge of the nature of gold now and then.For more, log into the new Finders Oz forum.Digger Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
