[QUOTE="BigWave, post: 420814, member: 6786"] I'm only a hobbyist gold detectorist, and have been at it part time for ~7 years. Lots of reading, researching, map work, exploring, liaisons etc. I've probably spent ~$30k (maybe much more more) on equipment, fuel/accommodation etc and found around~ $10k gold. I don't expect that ratio to change greatly. My job (for another 6 days) pays for my living and my family's well being - then retirement. How to make a small fortune prospecting is generally to start with a [b][u]large fortune[/u][/b]. Keep your job mate :o [/QUOTE]
