What do you do for a living American Detectorists?

House & garage builder, originally. Construction & re-construction (& repair or re-build), roofing (metal & shingle) & siding, septic systems, plumbing, electrical, drywall, mudding, painting, cabinet building, etc... basically everything from digging the hole, to setting the last brick in the chimney.
Last 4 weeks? ...nothing. Can't even swing th' coil 'til work picks back up. >:\
 
Done a lot of things in my life, but now I restore and repair old British sports cars here in California. I would rather be out detecting, but my customers always want their cars back :poke:

Grunt, here. Seriously. I lug furniture for a living. I do other stuff like use my brain and make the company money, but for the most part, I'm a grunt. And getting too old for it.

And nothing changes Angel's profession ~ once a professional silver coinshooter, always a professional silver coinshooter. lol
 
I'm a house husband. :rolleyes:

I retired from the Dept of Defense after 30+ years. My wife has nine more years to go until she retires, and my days are pretty much mine to do as I please. :)

I run heavy equipment too just like Hook.... just not the cranes.

Started out as a carpenter for 28 years.(Started at 17) I loved it and made a good living but the knees finally said enough. crying01
I had my master carpenters card and several code enforcement certifications so when a building inspector job opened up for the county I grabbed it. Works out well for two pensions. I've been very lucky to have always loved my work. The great thing about being an inspector is that I'm thru at 2:30 so that leaves alot of time for dirtfishing. :clapping:
