Kind of like they say about fishing, a bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work. So you can say a bad day at prospecting is better than a good day at work 😀. At least your detector is getting used. Mine is still in the box, brand new never been used. I bought right when my health when to shit a couple years ago. Hoping to put it to use in a few months as I get better. Just gotta find a place where i can detect without getting blasted.
