How Many Hours Per Week Do You Spend Mding Your Beaches?

Between Memorial Day and Labor Day when our county beaches are open I personally log about 2 hours a day on average to clean the swim areas and dry sand with the group of beach cleaners I manage. This is not a real hobby though now. More like a job that we are paid to do.

When I am able to hunt for fun I manage to get out once or twice a week for about 2 hours at a time anywhere I want to go and usually in the water. Once fall gets here I try to get out four times a week for some land hunting if the knees will let me.
I am retired and have no wife to tell me what to do and waste no time watching her shop in fabric stores.
 

Sandman has the Bachelor Pad!!! I manage 15-20 hours, when the wife and I head to the condo, usually 3-4 hours every morn and afternoon/eve. We usually make it out there thurs. eve, and leave sun afternoon.
 

I try to go everyday and each day could be 1-4 hours. I find it a great way to clear your head.
 

8-18hrs a week.once in a blue moon 5 hrs. during the week day
 

12 to 20 depending on tide times and the conditions of the beach! The conditions will sometimes make me pull double sessions!! :icon_pirat:
 

4 to 6 hours per day, 6 Days a week. :walk:
 

I'm stuck in the 9-5, M-F rut, but I'm putting in about 5-6 hours a week at the beach.

It'll probably go up once things cool down here in Florida a little.
 

It is important to just get out when you feel like it as this is supposed to be fun remember. I am cutting back on the clean ups for the county and going to do some of my own fun.
 

4-5 hrs a day 4-6 days week
 

Not near often enough for my taste. Depends largely on family commitments and "other duties as assigned". Although I am retired, I am still active in other things and people. Some summer weeks I may go 4 times 4-6 hours at a time. However, if you take the whole summer into account, probably once a week on average, 4-6 hours. Outside of summer, I may go 4-6 hours per week or less.
 

Generally an hour every other day when I have to work and 4 -5 hours on my days off. In a whole I'd say 15 hours a week. What's funny is when I tell my coworkers about my finds they tell me I'm wasting time working and I should just metal detect full time.
 

usually 3 hours per trip. twice during the week and two to four times each weekend
so........12 to 18 hours per week from june to september.
 

Right now I only get out one day one the weekend. So when I get out it is normally 3 hours on a beach and then I hunt a few hours in tot lots.....Matt
 

A couple hours a few times a week. I go in the evenings when the coast is clear. Still looking for a couple honey holes that can produce more than bottle caps and beer cans.

One or two days I venture off to more remote destinations and spend the day.
 

:coffee2:
when i worked full time i made it to the east coast 5-10 hrs a week.
now that i am retired i do not have enough time. :help:
does that make any sense?
 

Well, in the summer from mid-June to August about 20 hours a week, I have the summer off, so I have a lot of time. Now, about 6 hours a week, only on the weekend.
