Took me about 3 years to deal with that loss not just the theft but unable to go out and do it/ lost opportunities. In 2013 both of my detectors were stolen. I didn't get back into detecting until 2012. But really, it depends on the location and situation (e.g., if you can get to the prime areas in the location) then okay, detecting is the edge, otherwise it's suction dredging, but not with a 1.5 inch hose unless sniping is all you've got opportunity to do. did find some rings and a watch, but too hit-miss for my tastes, and back then wasn't into gadgets.ĭredging, in my opinion is superior to every method including metal detecting unless you're in a known nugget producing area with the right detector with the right GB set and right settings and know how to use it proficiently as if it were your hand. 1984-1985 = first used detector, I had rented it from a shop, found it too stressful. Very well stated similar experience for me. 1981 things turn around and I got more detecting In 1980 I found detecting was too much hit and miss but dredging was more constant and had found gold constantly and got 4 ounces in 1980 and nil detecting.
