[QUOTE="madtuna, post: 536006, member: 44"] Not always. Good tour operators (teachers) often detect to locate a target (without digging it) then bring in the novice and use it as a teaching aid. What to listen for, how to pinpoint, how to dig and recover etc. Novice does the work and keeps the gold and has newfound understanding, confidence and enthusiasm. Edit: also depends on what type of tour, just a tag-along or tag-along with tuition etc. You want and need to ask for a tour that has tuition included. With just a tag-along tour you are paying for the guides knowledge and experience in locating good ground where he himself would detect. Possibly also you're after the safety and company especially if it's your first time to WA. Most likely you'll get help with things like 40E applications, tengraph, GPS etc. I'd be surprised and worried if my guides didn't detect and weren't locating good ground. [/QUOTE]
