[QUOTE="blueexplorer88, post: 43417, member: 1828"] So I've been interested in the idea of prospecting for gold since I was a kid. However I have yet to do much about it. So I decided to gain some knowledge and get a start. I got a phone number of a prospecting shop in Sydney. I gave them a ring and started talking metal detectors with them. I thought to myself I will invest $1000. to my surprise the guy said "$1000? our cheapest detector is $1200" wow I thought that was pricey. however, he then recommended a $6800 detector. I think I said "shit I don't have that sort of money on something I haven't even practiced on or know that much about." But he then told me that "people who buy these detectors make around $200,000 a year with them.: awesome , looks like I'm going to be rich fellas.!!! Believe it or not I believed him and nearly bought one. I did further research and found this statement he made to be ridiculous. I'm sure a person or 2 may make that sort of money , but it's more like winning the lotto isn't it ? what are your thoughts guys ? For now this newbie will be using sluices and highbankers till the gold I find can buy me a good detector. All for fun I say. Goodluck out there guys. [/QUOTE]
