New to prospecting and this forum

[joshuabillingsley]

I’m new to prospecting and thought this would be s great way to bond with my kids. I live in a rural area and was hoping to maybe stake a claim across the road from my house. There’s no mines or Ming of any sort other than two aggregate pits, one is a couple km down the road and the other is like 6 km away. It everything on the map from here to Timbuktu is restricted!! I’m at a loss! I live in aweres township in northern Ontario if anyone here has any input that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.
