[QUOTE="Dignit, post: 420319, member: 5167"] Welcome to the forum Crushed. What you are asking is a very personal matter that will be dictated by your behavioural ability to persevere with digging the junk. Some people have great perseverance others not. Of course the chance of finding gold will increase perseverance, and if you start finding gold I'd expect the enthusiasm to persevere will no doubt drastically increase. As mentioned by others a DD using descrimination will help. However, If you try it you will discover that a DD in descrimination will sound off on steel and won't blank out until you get close to the steel target. So you will still be digging junk targets. It's not as beneficial as it sounds. The tip of having a magnet on the end of the pick is a very useful time saving method for picking up steel junk. Of course lead and brass won't be attracted to it so you'll still need to dig up bullet casings and lead shot. Sounds exciting. Hope you find some gold. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
