[QUOTE="Dog Ranger, post: 640063, member: 14141"] Don't despair as this becomes your worst enemy. Tired or feeling despondent like it's a waste of time, then pack it in for the day as you need to feel "on 'it" to be on it. This is probably the best part of finding even the smallest piece, as it rejuvenates your enthusiasm and spurs you on. I know some who swung for two years and not found a piece, another first trip landed a five ouncer. Another who found a ten ouncer and then in their next four trips did not find a thing? Myself I've been away for a month and found gold within the first 10 minutes of coil on the ground and thought, damn this is going to be a boomer of a trip. Seven days later not another piece to show. Nature of the beast ;) Noted in a post you placed that you commented that you don't even find junk ? This to me would suggest that MB is on the money in that your machine is not set up correctly? I think most would agree that they never have a problem finding junk. More fuggets than nuggets is the norm :oops: [/QUOTE]
