[QUOTE="TheWolf, post: 368757, member: 6893"] Hi guys, I was wondering whether this hobby has similar phases or stages as other hobbies that I have enjoyed in the past (Golf, fishing, hunting, mountain biking). For example, Golf was: phase 1) I hit the ball really pure once during my round, 2) I got a par during my round, 3) I just broke 80 and am now getting lessons and playing more often, 4) hittting low 70s and Im a solid single figure player, 5) my first sub-par round! With prospecting, what Ive experienced so far... 1) the no idea: got 2 flakes in my pan at a random spot and was stoked! 2) chasing known areas: getting around 100 specks in a Pan after quite a few hours of planning and am stoked! 3) home made river sluice in known areas: getting some more gold and a few pickers. Probably accumulated a gram or 2 of gold by now. 4) whats next? Do you guys ever get a lot of gold for a days digging? Or does this hobby tend to top out fairly quickly? Regards, Mike [/QUOTE]
