[QUOTE="Oh!Pal, post: 665715, member: 24149"] Hi all, I was preparing plate-tectonics lessons for a junior high-school science class last week and had an epiphany. My daughter is an outdoors type and I'm not. But it occurred to me that fossicking might be a way to build a hobby in common. She has a ute, I have a caravan near Warwick. I've taken the plunge and splurged on a used GM1000 ($480! Win!) and a couple of panning kits, a bag of paydirt, an awning and a $10 paddling pool for the back garden to practice panning in (how to do it without knackering my back!) If I can pan in my back garden with a TV and beer, then I can meet my daughter at Warwick then drive west to a public area and sit and pan with scenery and a beer while she joins in or goes rock-hopping and such. If I get a 0.02g fleck I'll a) be happy and b) expose myself to gold fever to see whether it leads me (and hopefully us) further afield in years to come. Are there many members or meetups between Stanthorpe, Warwick and Toowoomba? I noticed a post here for a minerals event in Warwick at the start of April and I'll try to get there. [/QUOTE]
