About this listen
'An uplifting book full of joyful nuggets of wisdom from a true adventurer!'
- Dr Hermione Cockburn OBE, BBC TV Coast presenter and science communicator
This is the story of long-time civil servant Vincent Thurkettle, who, at the peak of his career, decided to abandon an excellent job and pension to follow a dream - to go hunting for gold.
Vincent Thurkettle's story is a gripping and colourful adventure, a physical and spiritual journey among amazing people in unlikely places. A story to amuse, entertain and inspire all of those who have a dream and just need a nudge and the courage to get started.
Finding Gold captures both the practical aspects of gold and treasure hunting, and, perhaps more importantly, it describes the attitude and psychology needed to really grip life, to truly seize the day and enjoy every moment. Finding the metal itself is actually only a small part of the story - it's mostly about feeling alive again, vibrant, with new friendships and purpose. And finally, finding the 'treasure' of fulfilment and happiness.
An aspirational, inspirational guide for would-be adventurers everywhere.
