Nokta FoRs Gold, a Gold Cube, 2 Keene Sluices and Lord only knows how many pans....not to mention a load of other gear my wife still doesn't know about!
There may have been an underlying condition, many times when an elderly person gets sick, they loose their appetite, if he lived as a miser, it would not have taken long for him to starve if this was the case. Still a very sad story.
