Hey folks, I'm researching my MD purchase and am narrowing it down. Thanks much for the help.
My question for today is on gold detecting. I've heard from a few different peeps that if ya have quartz ya need to be checking for gold. My hunt club is LOADED with quartz and was in a very volcanic area. Where I live in called "Silver Hill". Right near "Silver Valley". Don't live too far from "Gold Hill".
..But is detecting for gold in certain areas a real "thing" or pie-in-the-sky for "fringe elements"? Trying to decide if it should be a factor in my purchasing decision. I'd hate ta find out there's actually some useful amount of gold to be had in my area and then later hafta upgrade to allow for more efficient hunting of it. But if it's pure "pie" I'd like to avoid the extra expense. At least till I figure out if this gig is somethin I'll continue to do.
Thanks for any useful input.. d:^)
