[QUOTE="Franco, post: 510991, member: 16016"] Hello all. I went out this morning into Ballarat with my 11 year old son for a few chilly hours of detecting. It was our very first attempt at prospecting and we loved being out in the bush and are certain to keep up the hobby. We found heaps of junk including several spent shotgun shells, a lead bullet and bullet casings, several old square nails, and an old metal shirt button. Unfortunately no gold to be found, but it was an experience to explore the old workings area and see it for ourselves instead of watching it all on YouTube. One thing we noticed was the number of holes not filled in, and the junk iron found and thrown back into these holes by prospectors disappointed by their targets. Shame really as this behavior reflects on all prospectors. Finally, I hope next time we can find some gold. I dont want my son to be disheartened with not finding gold on our days out. [/QUOTE]
