Hi there again Little Gem Hunter, mum and dad.
Thank you for sharing your collection with us.
I must say, it is very nice to have such a polite, respectful and enthusiastic young lady on our forum.
It is great that your mum and dad are helping you find gems and that you are all enjoying this forum together. As you have seen, the moderators of this forum do a fantastic job looking after us.
Now that we have had a chance to get to know you better and we have been assured that mum and dad are keeping you safe online I am certain that you will make many new friends on this forum who will be more than happy to help you out as best as they can.
You have a keen eye for gems. I have been to Mount Franklin lots of times and a have never found anything! Soon you will be giving advice to us! Ha ha.
I read that you had a show and tell at school. That is really cool! You have already started contributing to keeping our hobby alive and passing on the fun and excitement to other young people and you have only just joined. I bet your friends at school can't wait to see your next amazing finds. Neither can I!
If you ever need any more help or advice just ask. I will help you as best as I can. I am new to this hobby too and learning more every day by reading lots and going out into the field. I would be happy to meet you and your mum and dad in Kyneton for a coffee and a chat some time or join your family in a dig. There are also member meet ups on this forum that you may want to attend one day. I hear it is a great family day out.
I'm sure you have inspired other young people at your school to go out and find their own gems too. Maybe you could start your own gem club at school and go on a field trip to Daylesford with your classmates?
All the best LGH, mum and dad. Welcome to the world of fossicking and welcome to the forum.
M
