Hi Everybody!
New member here, hoping to learn and get in to the Gold Fossicking world much more. I have a question regarding any areas in the North Island where I could go away for a weekend's panning etc.? I have searched online and it all seems to be on the South Island, as I am based in Auckland it would take a bit more organizing to go there. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
