Metal Detecting is one of those rare hobbies that can incorporate so many more areas to maintain your interest. You become a student of history and relics. You can become a map reader and a detective to search out good areas to detect. It can be so much more than you ever imagined.

I wish the gf was more inclined to do it more often. The cellars are prob the most challenging sites to hit and often there is little found. It's good to be in a hobby to a stress release as well to get out of the daily bs, not just for the sheer gain. I like the woods mostly cuz its quiet.Originally Posted by Donnie B
