It would have to be very shallow to bedrock for it to work. The places I have dredged so far it was feet to the bedrock, so a detector wouldn't do much unless it was a pocket of flood nuggets.

Do they help find the paystreaks? hmmmm... not so much as they do help cleaning them out. I've had a few over the years & they pay for themselves if you use them. Minelab 1000
