Well Met all,

I received news that a man I prospected with back in 2006 in Western Australia has passed away.
Him and his wife, Bep, spent many hours around the camp fire with myself and many members of JackHammers Army back
in 2006 and though I did not keep in contact the Hillers are people I deeply respect.

Kevin made his fame from the discovery of what was then, and sometimes even now, the largest gold nugget ever detected
by a metal detector. Even after his discovery he and his wife continued to prospect for gold and treasures exploring Australia
to its fullest. And for Me making many treasured memories. I still have his autograph in my copy of his wifes book The Hand Of Faith.
I'll find the Foot mate.

I'll Miss Ya Mate.

Pat Zimmerman.
