[QUOTE="Sanguine, post: 570776, member: 18222"] My dad used to take me panning anywhere from Warrandyte up to The Thompson River from a very young age. Just him and me - how good is that! In the early 80s we started using a metal detector which my dad would hire for the weekend and we'd share it. It was a Whites Coinmaster VLF detector and we'd usually head out to Fryerstown because it was a relatively easy drive from Melbourne and it gave us the most time with the detector before we had to hand it back to the Hardware shop in Balwyn where we'd hired it. Ever since then I've had a need to get out into the bush and clear my head from the stresses of work and the necessary evil of living in the city. I still go back to the same spot in Fryerstown from time to time and it still gives a bit up. It is my form of therapy and I couldn't live without it. Almost nobody outside of my immediate family knows about my hobby - not sure why. It's just something I like to do, I am very private and I don't feel the need to tell anybody. [/QUOTE]
