[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 247951, member: 4485"] The greater percentage of people on forum's like this one are just hobbyists, & while seeking to make a quid is a nice notion or would be a nice reward, isn't a neccesity for most of us. Most detectorists I know prospect for gold because they enjoy detecting. I couldn't see many packing their hobby + jobs + lifestyles in to take a pan & sieve into the desert for enjoyment or the "possibility of making a quid" :rolleyes: It would take quite a few multi ounce pockets to replace a steady annual wage or salary. Keep the small finds coming. Some of us enjoy gold pics regardless of size & appreciate the effort + skill required to find them with a detector. Finding gold as a hobby is enjoyable & bigger ones are certainly better but I'll take any size I can get :lol: Hey maybe we could start another thread titled "Show us ya big one" & name an Alpha Prospector each month to celebrate their massive nugget with the "King Dick" of nuggets announced annually?
