Today I paid £40.96 for this 2022 sovereign from Costco. Well, if you ignore the food purchases but include the 2% cashback rewards that I built up over the last year that went towards it, this makes it the cheapest sovereign I've ever bought. 😄

In the interests of keeping this story going… And because it contains a thread related to panning for gold, I would like to add my following thoughts…
The prosecution against this gold panner is absolutely ludicrous of course, and I’d be genuinely shocked if anyone disagreed with that. And I don’t think that the requirement of a licence to go gold panning is a good idea, we’re just encouraging the authorities to limit our freedoms in every way they can imagine.
According to the history books, back in the days of Robin Hood, the starving people were not allowed to hunt deers in the forests because they all belonged to the crown. I suppose they were expected to pop to their local supermarket to feed their families.
Then and now, there’s always someone who tries to impose their will upon others. Will things never change? Sadly it seems not. I for one am ashamed that we’ve allowed our rulers and governors to impose such sanctions upon us, they’ll be introducing a licence to ride a bicycle next.
And the judge that actually enforced this prosecution should’ve thrown this ridiculous matter out of court, what a complete and utter waste of tax payers time and money. Hang your head in shame judge!

I could not agree more.
I take a very very dim view of (what are essentially) state employees wasting time on surveilling a lone chap with a pan in a river.  
Don’t they have jobs to do, like planting trees?
Note: Some members of the “Unofficial Caravan Club of Great Britain” visit forests in early December to unofficially “harvest” Christmas trees that they they sell on lay-bys.  You will note that the chaps who apprehended the gold panner wouldn’t go near the delightful travelling folk.
