[QUOTE="A-team, post: 589367, member: 18790"] Detecting, Is it worth getting in to? I think the answer lays in the question... "worth". Financially there is a general once only outlay as with many other "hobbies" - just go through a bunch of sports and hobbies in your head and you will realize, the set-up outlay is not ludicrous. Add to that travel costs, fuel and vehicle wear and tear. Now, "worth" on the other end of the scale, what return do you expect, well thanks to certain recent TV series, everyone thought they could go get rich in a day - with an obvious outcome. We had detector shortages, massive increase in prospecting licenses, and hundreds more people out there. The easy gold is gone, if you are patient and willing, you may even pay back your detector and car fuel costs. Early in detecting, you will make all the common mistakes and come home sore and tired, but if you are still smiling - keep it up, but please DO NOT believe all you see on that entertaining TV series!
