[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 522238, member: 4485"] You can do little or no research, have little or no knowledge & put in little effort but you will make the odds higher/less likely to find gold. On the other hand if you have some knowledge, do your research & put the effort in then you reduce your odds & make it more likely you'll find gold. Sure either way can have some luck involved but it's not a major contributor to consistency. Sure either way can make a lucky find but again the more overall effort made the more increase in the chance of that happening too. I once went 18 months where I failed to find any gold only twice in that time. I didn't make any big finds but I consistently found gold. Back then I was detecting 1-2 times/week compared to 1-2/month now but I reckon I'd still be finding gold at around 80-85% of trips. To have any luck or consistency in this game you need to learn a little, put yourself on the right areas & be prepared to put in some effort. That's what makes luck & leads to more consistency. I'm constantly trying to learn more & constantly researching areas to either refresh prior knowledge or find out about new ones. I'd personally never rely on 40% luck. [/QUOTE]
