Downhill Dazz
After a visit to Sovereign Hill a while back I took the son out to the local creek as he wanted to see if we could find gold for real instead of panning it out of the creek in Sovereign Hill (they regularly put gold in it for the punters to find). I talked it down a fair bit saying it'll be a lot harder than it sounds, well bugger me we find gold straight away (don't get excited, it's only specs) and the young fella is hooked.
It combines his love for digging with finding treasure so it's not surprising he loves it.
Been heading out most weekends since and I'm really enjoying it too! The spots we go to are pretty nice places to spend a few quiet hours away from it all and spend some super valuable time with my boy while he still thinks I'm awesome. Finding a few bucks worth of gold is a bonus.
Equipment we're using is shovel, bucket, classifier, gold pan, a small river sluice, yabby pump and a few other small hand tools.
Anyone else get a bit of gold fever from time to time?
