Which one is better, MD or CRHing?
Good thinks about MD:
Get to sometimes find old objects that are sometimes worth a lot of money
Find very interesting objects, sometimes objects that you can't buy
Thrill of the hunt
Bad things about MD:
You might never break even MD
Good metal detectors cost a lot of cash
May get in trouble with the law
------------------------------------------------------
Good things about CRH:
Doesn't cost a lot of money. You pay for what you find, and that's about it
Farily easy to find silver sometimes
Can hunt in any weather
Bad things about CRH:
Must have a lot of Patience
Bank tellers might be jerks sometimes
You might get reported because you bring in large quantities of coins all the time
Feel free to add your own!
Both hobbies are great hobbies. But, CRHers usually find more silver than MD's do. For example, MD's will probably never come across the silver LJ has found, IN THEIR LIFETIME. And LJ's only been hunting for a couple years. I saw a video about a guy on YouTube that found a silver coin by MD, and he's a well known MDer; he said it was silver #38 for the year or something like that.
MD's will most likely never reach the wheaties that shake N bake finds IN A WEEK. But, Md's do have a better chance at finding older coins such as Seated's and Bust's. This may sound like a stupid question, but why MD? CRHing produces the most finds in the long run right? True, we may never find a gold eagle or rings like some MD's do, but in the long run, IS IT WORTH IT? I'm not saying that one hobby is better than the other, I'm just asking, why do it?

Ive found equal amounts of gold (FRN wise) MD'ing to silver finds CRH I do more CRH when the ground freezes...or the water is just to cold to get into anyways.
