À propos de ce contenu audio

 'An uplifting book full of joyful nuggets of wisdom from a true adventurer!'
- Dr Hermione Cockburn OBE, BBC TV Coast presenter and science communicator

'Lyrical, magical, philosophical and inspirational' - James Ogilvie, Chair, Walking Scotland, Woodland Trust Director, Chartered Forester

'This is more than a story of gold. It is a reflection of a way of life.'
- Sanjay Singh , President of the World Goldpanning Association

Vincent's quest is a reminder never to give up on the most improbable dream: that is where you will find true riches.' - Annie Warburton, CEO & Clerk, The Goldsmiths' Company

On Friday I was middle management, employed and office-furnished. On Monday I was nobody, and it felt good. But I was not idle.

I wasn't expecting to get rich, but if anyone had ever told me how hard it is to find gold, would I have listened? I hope not. I wanted to feel alive.

I left the security of daily office attendance in favour of adventure, danger and chance, having decided life is too short. The reality of bills to pay reminded me I must succeed in my gold-panning mission, or my bank account would remain woefully empty, but there has not been a single minute of any day that I wished I was back at my old desk.

My love affair with this enchanting and almost indestructible metal has taken me across the world, where I've rubbed shoulders with many wise and sometimes weary wanderers. From the mountains of Scotland to the rivers of Lapland, the mighty Yukon to sun-baked Australia and the sodden west coast of New Zealand, and finally, diving for treasure on the UK's richest shipwreck - I've never looked back.

This is my story.©2026 Vincent Thurkettle (P)2026 Octopus Publishing Group Limited Aventuriers, explorateurs et survie Développement personnel Réussite personnelle
