[QUOTE="Dr4gul3, post: 162563, member: 5164"] I think panning would be a better experience for you and your son - depending on the location of course, but detecting you can often go days without finding anything, especially as a beginner. I clocked up around 50 hours of detecting time before I found my first nugget. whereas if you were to begin panning, you can enjoy each others company without as much distraction or concentration. and assuming you're in a good location you should always have something to show for your efforts at the end of the day! I wish my dad took me out looking for gold when I was younger! Now I have to drag him out and show him how to do it :P [/QUOTE]
