[QUOTE="jethro, post: 293857, member: 1297"] AS someone who used to detect and now only pans or sluices for about 3 months of the yr, feb to the end of april. I would say with detecting, to be sucessful you need to be able to put in the time on the ground. This means being able to get to goldfields that have a history of coarse gold in shallow ground and being able to concentrate for at least 8hrs a day. (I know a lot of detectorists that simply dont put in enough hrs due to lack of drive or cant concentrate for long or cant be bothered digging in a area that has produced a few junk targets.) I sold my SD2200 after an unsucessful trip to tarnagulla were I didnt dig a deep target for whole week, dug plenty of junk but not one decent down in the gravel type target. I decided to concentrate on sluicing panning & crevising in the creeks closer to home. When it gets too cold in the creek I start looking around for old quartz workings and sample the left overs.
