[QUOTE="Guest, post: 523817"] G'day Apart from a little bit of luck here and there that happens to most people, I really think that prospecting for gold is more about effort than anything else and you have to really put in the time to make your own luck, you cant be a lazy prospector and expect high returns as I believe that the returns your will get are directly associated with the time you spend on the ground, its all mathematical and the more you swing the coil and the more ground you cover the higher the chances you will find gold, after all at the end of the day whether you call it pot luck or effort you still have to get that coil over the nugget, and the only way you can do that is get that coil to the ground. My average day of detecting will start just after sunup maybe 5 am until noonish, and then a nanna nap sometimes, and then through until the voices in my head tell me that there's cold beer in the fridge back in camp, so for most days out for the whole two week trip will be about the same as long as the weather holds out, so most days would be about 10 hours but sometime a bit more or less, if you only put in a few hours a day then you cant really expect to be getting much gold as you have to work much harder for it these days than ever before. cheers stayyerAU [/QUOTE]
