One good point though, all of those new guys, will be out learning their machines, and digging lots of trash as part of that process. If they quit, before learning how to find the good stuff, the places they cleaned, will be easier for the rest of us.
Takes the body a couple of weeks to learn and adjust to any new physical activity, assuming you keep with it, through all the aches and pains. Don't think most take that into account, only that they hurt, and only a few coins, a pile of trash to show for it, not to mention a credit card bill, that the finds aren't even going put a dent in. Considering many people take the most expensive, as being the absolute best, and easiest to learn and use, will spend all the can, even if that can't really afford it. All this is just leading to a quick failure, which needs a quick solution. They need to dump the non-productive equipment, not so much for what they paid, but what they need to keep up with the bills. Should be a lot of high end equipment cheap. It's not as simple, quick, or easy, to flip a switch, and start digging up lost gold and silver. Like anything else, there will be lows, and highs, as far as interest goes. I takes dedication and persistence, to achieve any level of success in anything you do. Most people these days are too lazy, always looking for handouts, and the easy, work-free bucks.
