[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 93666, member: 2152"] Unfortunately even the technology advantage there's still many hurdles. Emi, access, green movement, 20 years of pis, junk, and the fact a lot of known shallow areas aren't whets the real returns were, and are taken up by the old timers in droves. Every now and then I see raking but its not the norm, waiting for prescribed burning for clearances means depth is still a issue. It would be a high percentage of detectorists that are novices, most detectors average use would be a very small proportion of the daylight hours available in a year because it's a past time not an occupational pursuit. I know how hard it is to hunt out a park, grid it up and use the detector to its potential, let alone walking into a gold field and chasing down the nuggets. I get lazy and is a tiring thing swinging one around. But hey alot of ground has been coveted and a lot of holes dug to win it so put the pick in and hope you come up Golden. Be nice to be the first one on it :D [/QUOTE]
