Wazza you should see if you can get your kid interested in metal detecting.


Grab a cheap detector from Aldi when they are on special for about $100 or grab a second hand one off gumtree or market place.


The advantage over gem hunting is that generally there's somewhere to detect withing 5 minutes of home. Parks, vacant land and bits of bush land.  Even if you're not finding coins there's often interesting bits of junk. He might get hooked on it.
