    Words of wisdom

    Read this on another forum and thought I would share it here. I did not write this, but found it intersting : The spirit of this hobby is within the hunt itself and as you said relax and enjoy investigating whats under the dirt and fulfilling your goals one find at a time, be that a peace dollar or a seated dime or maybe that flying eagle cent. We both know that some treasures are not recovered from the dirt at all but are found within the people we meet along the way. Hope everyone enjoys this as it pretty much sums it all up.
    For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6:21

    Sometimes you keep digging even after you have recovered your find, and you dig until the hole is deep and big enough to meditate and do some yoga in.

    Great advice.

    To me it's all about the Zen.
