    Re: What do you do for a living American Detectorists?

    I'm an attorney specializing in the areas of Real Estate, Estate Planning and Business. Have my own practice and cover all of Western MA and even into CT now. But I like to get dirty, get that dirt up in those fingernails, up in your nose, in your ears...yeah that is what I really like.....just can't make a living at it. Alwqays wanted to be an archeaologist, but life didn't take me that way. I love the history of what we find.

    Haven't seen too many attorneys in this hobby for whatever reason. Lots of engineers though!

    I don't know if I replied to this thread but if I did it was before switching jobs. I'm medical director for a pharmaceutical education, marketing and strategies company.

    Re: What do you do for a living American Detectorists?

    I'm officially retired (26 years teaching broadcasting at Parkland College in Champaign, IL), but I still do a lot of substitute teaching at the college.

    I also have a small but steady income from selling the books I've written.

    Like many writers, I've had a long and varied career (before I began teaching): radio disc jockey, real estate broker, magazine writer, newspaper writer and photographer, wedding photographer, Air Force medic, theater projectionist, block-ticket sales for the Atlanta Braves. And a paper route as a kid, then working in the newspaper office on vacations from college.

    How do you get them to grow in a U shape? Every time I go to buy lumber, all the boards are shaped like that. rofl

    Jason. It's easy to grow them U shaped. The hard part is running them through the saw mill and maintaining the U shape the builders seem to like these days.
