Detecting with a friend

[Dadhumanizer]

So how significant do you think the odds go down on getting mugged at night if detecting with a friend or wife vs detecting alone?

Safety in numbers is better than alone but no guarantee

Got a good watch dog, to tag-along...?
They have better senses than us, and could alert you to approaching people....

Quite a lot I would think but probably depends on how much the attacker has had to drink.
