Hey guys I’m new here and I was wondering if you could give me a bit of help iv been watching a lot of videos on YouTube about looking for gold and gems and what not and I was wondering where would be a good place to start looking so that me and my little man have something to do during the holidays and any info would be appreciated
Welcome aboard! There’s a bunch of public fossicking spots you can hit to get you started and hopefully bump into a few people and get some tips - Public Gold Fossicking Areas - New Zealand Gold Prospecting & Fossicking
Best of luck ! 
Also if you scroll down the topics list you can see a topic for each of the fossicking areas and comments and photos on each .
