About Vincent Thurkettle Books

Vincent Thurkettle, born in Somerset and raised in Wales, is a lifelong outdoorsman. After serving as a reconnaissance officer in the reserve forces, he pursued woodland management with the UK Forestry Commission before leaving in 2005 to embrace a freer life. His passion for natural gold led him to become British gold panning champion multiple times and world champion in 2007. As President of the World Goldpanning Association, he began diving for shipwreck treasure and discovered Britain's largest gold nugget. Vincent now lives in a self-designed cottage in rural Norfolk.
