Title: How long to do 100 ? Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on March 02, 2011, 11:14:47 PM Ok heres a question to pose everyone. Have a good think about it before answering.
Lets say you visit the same 100 acre plot of land and do an average of 8 hours detecting each visit. How many visits would you say it would take you before you can honestly say that 100 acres is done dead ? Title: Re: How long to do 100 ? Post by: Chef Geoff on March 02, 2011, 11:23:49 PM I worked this out once......It works out to be thirteen months if you detect 40 hours a week, so that works out at about 400 visits to grid every inch. But if they plough any of it then you have got to start again....oh and that doesn't include digging :o
Title: Re: How long to do 100 ? Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on March 02, 2011, 11:51:03 PM So that works out to be - 40 hours * 52 weeks = 2080 hrs / 8 = 260 visits
If you go detecting once a week that makes 260 weeks which is 5 years :o Title: Re: How long to do 100 ? Post by: Napoleon on March 03, 2011, 12:28:18 AM ::) that should give Ray around 1 roman coin every 2/5 years hummm thats not good . zut alors . ;D

Title: Re: How long to do 100 ? Post by: Laura@Detecnicks on March 03, 2011, 01:28:54 PM Certainly longer than I have in my life, even the most detected site still produces the odd "missed" find be it a good or a 'bad' find. In my case it would be forever anyway as I don't get to go out enough!
